The Matsu Tasting Box by Basco contains the whole range of red wines from this sought-after winery located in Toro. If you are looking for a quality wine gift that will impress anyone, look no further. The Matsu Tasting Box includes wines from a boutique winery that you cannot buy in any Supermarket or large store in the UK, making this selection a bespoke gift. The Matsu Tasting Box includes: El Picaro – Picaro means ‘rogue’ or ‘rascal’, and this rapscallion of a wine is a youthful interpretation of the Toro region’s style. The grapes come from mature vines of over 50 years of age, but the wine spends only three months in oak, preserving their natural fruit profile. Vivid crimson purple in the glass. Aromas are of ripe blackberries and raspberries, with subtle hints of fresh cocoa. The palate is bold yet supple, with ripe tannins and a mineral grip. El Recio – El Recio translates as ‘the tough guy’, and is a more serious, mature wine, made from the product of some of Toro’s oldest vines, which are cultivated using advanced biodynamic techniques. Aged for 14 months in new French oak provide opulence and polish. Intense and opaque, this wine is a mass of deep black fruit, chocolate, roasted coffee bean and vanilla pod aromas. Voluptuous and weighty, with a firm structure, held together by silky tannins. El Viejo – ‘The Old One’ of the Matsu range, made from the fruit of selected Tinta de Toro vines, averaging 110 years of age. Matsu is the Japanese word for ‘wait’, and the winery’s philosophy is one of patience and environmental harmony. The vineyards are fully organic. The wine is immensely powerful and complex, offering cigar box, lavender and graphite nuances against a backdrop of dense cherry and bramble fruit.
