Product Description
Details

This is the new vintage of the wine Bosque de Matasnos from DO Ribera del Duero.

Produced by the Bosque de Matasnos winery, this Spanish red wine is a blend of Tempranillo, Merlot and a dollop of Malbec, a variety which is almost non-existent in the region.

The grapes come from old vines, most of which are over 60 years of age. They were harvested by hand and meticulously selected. First on site, then twice in the cellar

After a cold maceration, this red wine from Ribera del Duero was fermented in stainless steel tanks. 10% of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in new American oak barrels, and the rest in the tanks.

Then the red wine Bosque de Matasnos 2021 was aged for 12 months in 90% French and 10% American oak barrels.

Decant this Crianza red wine 30 minutes  before drinking.

Appearance

Nose

This blend of Tempranillo, Merlot and Malbec begins with some intense notes of ripe black fruit, a panoply of sweet spices and fresh red fruit. In the background, the wine insinuates some balsamic, vegetal and earthy nuances.

Palate

Lively, smooth and subtle, this red wine of Bosque de Matasnos shows plenty of nuance, ready to be discovered and enjoyed. The fruit is superb, subtly underpinned by a balsamic, earthy and mineral background. Crisp acidity, mild tannins and very long finish with deep remembrances of fresh fruit and scrubland.

Our personal opinion

Complex and age-worthy, the wine Bosque de Matasnos 2021 is a Ribera worth discovering.
