Matsu El Picaro

Vineyards: A selection of dry farmed plots of the Tinta de Toro vine, grown on a combination of sandy and alluvial soils.

The Japanese term "Matsu" (to wait) describes the essence of this project; combining care for the natural environment and sustainable viticulture, with patience, in the most extreme areas of Toro.

With El Pícaro, our aim was to make a wine that retains the traditional power of the Toro vineyards, but combines it with the freshness and elegance that characterise all our wines.

Toro was one of the great discoveries on our trips in the search for vineyards. In 2005 we found ourselves among the largest number of centenary and pre-phylloxera vineyards we had ever seen, with sandy soils perfect for the vine and an ideal continental climate to prevent the onset of diseases. All these conditions have led to the maintenance of ancestral viticulture, based on respect for natural rhythms.
