This Matsu wine gift set contains two bottles of red wine, the youngest of which is Matsu El Picaro, named after the youngest winemaker and member of the wine family. This wine is lightly aged in oak and has soft, rounded aromas and flavors that stimulate all the senses. This Matsu gift set also contains a bottle of El Recio, named after El Picaro's father. This wine is much fuller and more powerful in flavor because it is aged longer in oak barrels. In short, a gift set for any wine lover!

Flavour profile
What a beautiful gift box from the Matsu winery, containing a bottle of the youngest winemaker, El Picaro, and a bottle of his father's El Recio. All this is presented in a beautiful gift box with a window, beautifully showcasing the bottles. The Matsu winery was founded by Vintea and is run by grandfather, father, and grandson, all three of whom work at the winery. The name "Matsu" literally means "Patient Balance" in Japanese, because the family believes balance and patience are essential in winemaking. Matsu red wines are produced in the beautiful Toro wine region, which has held DO recognition since 1987. This ancient vineyard produces beautiful bunches perfectly suited for red wine production. The family uses the most biodynamic techniques, and this is reflected in the pure and smooth style of these red wines.
