Matsu La Jefa

The Matsu La Jefa is a white wine aged in wood from the D.O. Toro in Spain. Matsu comes from the Japanese and means "to wait". And indeed, the philosophy of the makers of this white wine from 100-year-old vineyards is to leave nature as untouched as possible and to act with patience and restraint when making the wine.

The Matsu La Jefa smells of vanilla and ripe stone fruit, with nuances of aniseed and a subtle sweetness. On the palate, this creation made from the Castilian grape variety Malvasi'a and smaller proportions of other white grape varieties is velvety and full, with a lovely creaminess. There is also a fine play of acidity and sweetish nuances. This Spanish white wine is wonderfully balanced, with a beautiful texture and impressive complexity.

The Matsu La Jefa matured for 16 months in French oak barrels (600 liters). Look forward to a bright straw-colored Malvasi'a that captivates connoisseurs with its extraordinary complexity.

Product recommendation

Matsu El Picaro
The Matsu El Picaro comes from the Toro growing region in the northwest of Spain. A 100% Tempranillo, here called Tinta de Toro, vinified young wine. The grapes for this red wine are grown biodynamically.El Picaro translates as "the rogue". In the glass, the young wine from Bodega Matsu shines in an intense purple color. The nose is characterized by a penetrating aroma of black fruits such as blackberry and blueberry. Mineral notes are wonderfully fresh and complex, surrounded by a slight sweetness. The palate is also dominated by the fruit and fullness that comes from the ripe grapes. Despite its youthfulness, the wine is extremely full-bodied and powerful, which is due to the ageing in French oak barrels and the fact that aggressive filtering and clarification were deliberately avoided.The Matsu El Picaro is a vegan red wine and is extremely enjoyable on its own, but also pairs well with medium-weight dishes. Enjoy this dry red wine at a drinking temperature of 16-18 °C with classic Spanish dishes such as paella, tapas or mature cheese.

Matsu El Viejo
The Toro region in northwestern Spain is renowned for intense and powerful wines. The Matsu El Viejo is additionally equipped with elegance and finesse, reflecting the flawless artistry of winemaking with the Tempranillo grape, which is known as Tinta de Toro in this region.The Matsu El Viejo, which means ‘the old man’, is a selection of grapes from vineyards that are more than 100 years old. The vines in these low-yield vineyards are biodynamically cultivated. After the fermentation and the subsequent malolactic fermentation, the wine matured for 16 months in French oak casks. The wine was deliberately not filtered, thus preserving its full aroma structure. The Matsu El Viejo is a deep cherry-red in the glass with purple glints on the rim. It has a wonderfully intense bouquet of black fruit. Due to the ageing in casks, the Matsu El Viejo shows roast aromas and notes of smoke and spices that are wonderfully structured and integrated. On the palate, the wine is fleshy, ripe and round. The noticeable but fine tannins give the El Viejo a light sweetness. The finish is once again characterised by the harmony between fruit and wood aromas.The Matsu El Viejo is a typical accompaniment to meals, and stands up well to  hearty sauces and intensely flavoured grilled dishes. We recommend trying this amazing wine with blue cheeses.
