El Recio DOP - Bodegas Matsu

If you give it some air by swirling, this red wine reveals a high density and fullness, which shows in strong church windows at the edge of the glass.

If we trace the aromatics further, juniper, lovage and green peppers are added.

On the palate, Bodegas Matsu's El Recio starts out wonderfully dry, grippy and aromatic. On the palate, the texture of this punchy red wine is wonderfully dense. Due to its lively fruit acidity, the El Recio presents itself fantastically fresh and lively on the palate. The finish of this red wine with good aging potential from the wine-growing region of Castilla y León, more precisely from Toro DO, finally convinces with a beautiful reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets of the soils dominated by sand and limestone.
