This wine is part of a collection of authentic and soulful bottlings that honors the hard work of the viticulturist Miguel Angel Mato, a native of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. Through this collection of wines the focus is to highlight the unique character and hard work he puts into his best plots. The terroir expressed in these wines will transparently illuminate the soil, climate, and the hand of this man: a critical and fundamental element that make up their terroir. 

Made entirely from Maturana Tinta grapes, also known as Castets. Aromas of black & blue fruits, white pepper and licorice. On the palate, the wine is very round and spicy with notes of black pepper with soft berry fruit overlay. Powerful and vibrant and wonderfully fresh on the finish - a wine clearly marked by its Atlantic character.

This wine will match well with charcuterie boards and foods with a spicy kick. This will also pair well with grilled meats - try grilled octopus if you're feeling adventurous!

Distinctive aromas of briar, peppercorn and tarry fruit with mulberries and blueberries. Medium-bodied on the palate saturated with fresh, pulpy blue fruit and some lavender. Silky wrapping of tannins here. Maturana tinta. Drink now.
