This beautiful Bodega is a true symbol of the Toro region wines. The winery itself is relatively young, dating back to 1998. However, the acquired vineyards are much older. The name Numanthia comes from the Roman city of Numancia. Roman warriors from this city fought heroically for the Roman army at the site of the Bodega. There's no better tribute than naming a winery after these warriors. The acquired vineyards were planted centuries ago by pioneer families. The vineyards even survived the phylloxera plague. Moreover, the vineyards are also well-resilient to the extreme weather conditions this region experiences: extreme heat and drought in the summer and icy cold in the winter.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The old vineyard of Numanthia\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe vines for this Numanthia are at least 50 years old. This age has allowed the roots to dig down to a depth of 5 meters, allowing them to absorb sufficient nutrients from the soil. This delicious and unique red wine is made exclusively from Tinta de Toro grapes, a native grape from this region with a wealth of character. The vineyards are spread throughout the Toro region, with only 1,100 vines per hectare planted. This is relatively small, but the Eguren family doesn't mind. They only use what's good enough for their exquisite wines. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand at the right ripeness. This manual harvest ensures strict selection of the fruit, ensuring only the finest grapes are used for this exquisite red wine. After harvesting, the grapes are transported to the Bodega in small crates and gently crushed. This crushing process releases only the purest juice for the wine. After vinification, the wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels in the cellars of Bodega Numanthia. After these 18 months, the wine is bottled and ready to leave the nest.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eWhat does Numanthia red wine taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The result… We had to sit down for a while to enjoy it. What a beautiful red wine this Numanthia is! The color is deep cherry red with a purple rim. The aroma offers a powerful and intense bouquet of ripe red fruit like cherries and raspberries. These are interspersed with notes of spices like mint and cloves, and at the end, a soft hint of vanilla and tobacco. The palate is thick and powerful. A wonderfully full mouthfeel thanks to the thick structure. On the palate, numerous flavors of mocha, mushrooms, spices, and ripe black fruit emerged, all beautifully balanced. The lingering finish is full-bodied and perfectly balanced.

In the majestic vineyards of Toro, we find Matsu's centuries-old vines, where the famous Tinto de Toro grapes are grown.

This red Matsu El Viejo is the most powerful and named after the winery's founder, Mr. Raúl Acha. The Vintae winery is located in the Spanish wine region of Toro, northwest of Madrid on the Duero River. Wine has been produced here for centuries and has held DO recognition since 1987. The icing on the cake: winemaker and founder Raúl Acha had known for years that the best Spanish wines were grown here. In his search for a vineyard, he, too, wanted the very best. After all, to make a top-notch wine, you need old and powerful vines. In peace and quiet, he found his happiness, which has been translated into this red Matsu El Viejo wine.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Wine made with peace and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nAccording to Raúl, a top-notch wine can only be made with sufficient \"patient balance.\" That's why he named this wine series Matsu, because \"patient balance\" means \"patient balance\" in Japanese. This red wine is also entirely organic, so you can taste its refinement. This top-notch Matsu wine is also made with the local grape variety Tinto de Toro, the local Tempranillo variety from the Toro wine region, sourced from vines over 100 years old. The oldest and best vines nourish this top-notch wine, but that doesn't happen automatically, says Raúl. They work hard in the vineyards, and each bunch is cultivated with love, and you can taste it, he says. Yes, we can't deny it, truly one of the finest wines from Spain.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Long wood aging for the Matsu El Viejo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe grapes for this wine grow on Vintae's oldest vines and are harvested entirely by hand. But before they do, the bunches ripen in a perfect climate. The climate in the vineyards is unique, as the Tinto de Toro grapes receive plenty of sunshine in the afternoons. However, there's also plenty of coolness thanks to the constant strong winds in the vineyards, preventing overripening and contributing to a consistent harvest. The harvest is entirely hand-picked and strictly controlled; only the best, undamaged bunches are used in the wine. Once the bunches are pressed, this Matsu El Viejo is aged for sixteen months in new, unused French oak barrels. During this long period, it fully develops and develops an unparalleled character.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does Matsu El Viejo wine taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nIt all starts with the bottle and the image of Raúl Acha, the oldest winemaker naturally entitled to the finest wine. We lift the bottle and smell the powerful impression of this top-notch wine. We've already noted nuances of intensity with aromas of ripe red fruit, nuts, spices, and recognizable oak notes. Grab a large glass because this red really needs to be inhaled. The dark color already gives us a very warm feeling, and we're sitting on the edge of our seats. With our noses close to the glass, we know for sure: this is going to be an evening of pleasure. We detect hints of blackberries, cherries, and berries, but also roasted nuts, dark chocolate, spices, cedarwood, vanilla, and so on. On the palate, it explodes, a full-bodied, thick young man in which you can taste the Spanish wine tradition of Toro.
