Matsu is Vintae's unique sustainable organic wine project in the Spanish wine region Toro. The Toro wine region is located northwest of Madrid on the Duero River and has been DO recognized since 1987. Raúl Acha, the winemaker of Vintae, went looking for old vineyards for organic viticulture, in his search he even found a vineyard with vines that are almost 100 years old. This search and the process of making the wines are reflected in the name of this wine project. Matsu means; "patient balance" in Japanese. Matsu is inspired by the Japanese tradition of nurturing nature in purity and simplicity. It is a tribute to the Spanish wine tradition. All wines are made from grapes that grow in a completely natural environment, according to the most advanced biodynamic techniques. The Matsu trilogy of wines depicts three generations of winemakers.

Matsu El Recio is made from Tinto de Toro, the local variant of Tempranillo in the Toro wine region, from vines with an age of more than 90 to 100 years old. The harvest is entirely by hand in the first 15 days of October when the grapes are fully ripe. The grapes are gently pressed in a pneumatic press, after which natural fermentation takes place in small concrete tanks. The wine is aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, after which the wine is bottled without filtration to preserve its natural properties.
