    Philosophy of Matsu Wine

    Matsu translates from the Japanese ‘to wait’ which perfectly encapsulates the philosophy of the bodegas. Matsu’s mature vines in century-old Toro vineyards create wines with diverse and wonderfully complex flavour profiles.

    The vines are cultivated according to the tradition of not interfering with the logical processes dictated by nature. Matsu collaborates with small wine growers, helping to promote the economy of the area and preventing a large number of centenary vineyards from being abandoned or uprooted.

    Bodegas Matsu and Location

    Toro is in the province of Zamora, northwest of Castile and Léon. Bodega Matsu lies just three miles east of Toro and is situated on an elevated plateau which provides the perfect environment and conditions, including sandy soils with high granitic stones for grape growing and producing Matsu wine. The Toro region is widely regarded for its high-quality, robust wines and its old vineyards.

    The Winemaking Process

    At Bodegas Matsu, the established vines are cultivated according to the tradition of not interfering with the logical processes dictated by nature. The climatic conditions and the sandy soils for Matsu wine mean that there is little need to apply chemical treatments. Biodynamic, certified organic farming means the process of winemaking is sustainable and all grapes are harvested by hand. It is an artisanal viticulture method for creating Matsu wine which is entrusted to the expert hands of those who have been working these vineyards all their lives.
