Bodegas Matsu - El Picaro 750ml
Red, Dry, Still, Tinta de Toro
El Picaro is a rich, ripe and powerful wine. Inky purple in colour and flavours of fresh blackberries and blueberries and a small dollop of mocha from the 3 months spent in oak. Not for the faint hearted.

Alc.: 14,5%vol.
El Picaro is a captivating red wine crafted by Bodegas Matsu, a renowned Spanish winery known for its dedication to organic and sustainable winemaking practices. This wine is 100% Tinta de Toro and hails from the Toro region in northwest Spain.
"El Picaro" translates to "The Rogue" in English, and it perfectly encapsulates the wine's lively and youthful character. Despite its cheeky name and label, El Picaro is made from grapes sourced from old, gnarled vines that have been producing fruit for generations. It's a delightful contrast between the vine's age and the wine's youthful spirit.
On the nose, it opens with an explosion of ripe red and black fruit aromas, dominated by luscious blackberries and cherries, followed by subtle hints of floral notes and a touch of spice. The palate is equally vibrant, with a bold and juicy character that showcases the essence of the Toro terroir. The flavors are intense, with dark plum, blackcurrant, and a trace of licorice, all wrapped in velvety tannins that provide structure and depth. This wine's refreshing acidity balances its robust fruitiness, leading to a long, satisfying finish.
