Bodega Matsu ‘El Picaro’ 2022/23, Toro

Much like Ribera Del Duero, the Tempranillo grape is king in the region of Toro. Since the area is not as well-known as its famous neighbour, you can find excellent wines at a lower price. The region’s vineyards strive to survive the fiercely hot, dry climate. In the right hands, hard-working vines create complex and intensely flavoured wines. El Picaro translates as ‘the rogue’, which perfectly sums up this vibrant, charming wine. With just two months ageing in concrete vats, you can taste its youthful freshness – there’s notes of juicy blackberry and blueberry, liquorice and sweet spice. The perfect choice for cuts of roast beef.
