Bosque de Matasnos Red wine

Experience the exceptional Bosque de Matasnos Red Wine from the acclaimed 2021 vintage, presented in a sleek 0.75-liter bottle. Produced by Bodegas Bosque de Matasnos, this wine showcases the unique terroir of a vineyard located at an impressive altitude of 950 meters, where the conditions are near the upper limit for vine cultivation in Spain. The low yield, at less than 50% of the maximum allowed by the Ribera del Duero Denomination of Origin, combined with meticulous selection both in the vineyard and during processing, results in a wine that epitomizes quality and value.

Crafted from a blend of Tempranillo and Merlot grapes, the winemaking process includes a cold maceration of the must with the skins, followed by malolactic fermentation in new barrels. The wine matures for 12 months in a selection of 90% French oak and 10% premium American oak barrels, both with a meticulous drying process of 36 months.

Visually, the Bosque de Matasnos is a deep red with bright cherry hues, indicative of its intense character and long maceration. On the nose, it offers a harmonious bouquet of ripe red fruits, lightly nuanced by cooked fruit aromas, complemented by sweet, high-quality oak notes and subtle spices, including hints of vanilla. The aromatic intensity is truly captivating.

On the palate, the wine reveals a sweet, warm, and rounded entry, dominated by mature fruit flavors and enticing touches of dark fruit. The oak influences manifest as sweet, spicy tannins with a lingering aftertaste reminiscent of hazelnuts. Full-bodied and well-structured, this wine leaves a lasting impression.

Pair the Bosque de Matasnos with a variety of dishes such as roasted or stewed red meats, oven-roasted lamb, and well-seasoned chicken. It also complements spiced fish dishes, along with a selection of cheeses, charcuterie, and foie gras, making it a versatile choice for any culinary occasion. Enjoy this exceptional wine that beautifully balances quality and price, perfect for your next gathering or a special dinner at home.
