Matsu Toro El Viejo Vegan

Matsu, which in Japanese means “wait”, pays homage to all the viticulturists that have been working in the vineyards for generations and devoted their effort, knowledge, respect and sacrifice. The D.O. Toro is an area with a dry climate, extreme temperatures and centenarian vines that are cultivated according to the region’s tradition of not interfering with natural processes, following the times that nature sets. Matsu wines preserve the traditional boldness of the Toro D.O. and combine it with an alluring smoothness.
