El Recio Red wine
Discover the exquisite El Recio red wine from the renowned Bodegas Matsu, proudly showcasing the exceptional characteristics of the Toro Denomination of Origin. This 2022 vintage is crafted entirely from the indigenous Tinta de Toro grape, reflecting the rich terroir of the region. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, El Recio offers a bold and captivating experience for wine enthusiasts.
El Recio is aged for 14 months in French and Eastern oak barrels, which enhances its complex flavor profile. The wine presents a deep cherry color with a vibrant violet rim, appearing clean, bright, and glycerol in texture. Its abundant, fine tears elegantly coat the glass, hinting at the richness within.
On the nose, it boasts a high intensity of aromatic concentration, where toasted, spicy, and smoky notes harmoniously intertwine with delicate balsamic, menthol, and mineral undertones. After some time to breathe, luscious dark fruit aromas emerge, complemented by whispers of chocolate, cacao, and sweet spices. Upon tasting, you’ll find a powerful entrance, showcasing an intense and meaty body with remarkable structure and fullness. The palate reveals even more fruit than the nose, accompanied by a creamy texture that makes it exceptionally enjoyable.
The finish is long and persistent, leaving a memorable aftertaste with spicy, vegetal, animal, and mineral nuances that declare its robust character. El Recio is a wine that has the potential to evolve beautifully in the bottle, making it a worthy addition to any cellar.
Pair this magnificent wine with hearty dishes such as meat-based rice, grilled red meats, roasts, game, aged cheeses, wild boar, fried eggs with ham, or red meats in rich sauces. Experience the elegance and power of El Recio, a true testament to the artistry of Spanish winemaking.
