Collection of Other Great Spanish Wine Appellations
Discover the richness of Spain's other great Denominaciones de Origen
Discover with Vinoselección the fantastic Collection-Other-Great-Spanish-Wine-Appellations, a selection of three reds that brings together Altos de Luzón Edición Especial 2023, Valdelosfrailes Crianza 2021 and Matsu El Pícaro 2025. A proposal designed to explore the character and diversity of Spanish wine with personality.
Striking. Singular. Essential. This collection is an invitation to discover another face of the great Spanish wine, away from the more-travelled paths of Rioja and Ribera del Duero. It brings together six bottles, two of each reference, from three denominations with their own personality and a lot to say. From the energy and character of Toro with Matsu El Pícaro 2025, produced from old vines of Tinta de Toro, to the authenticity of Jumilla reflected in Altos de Luzón Edición Especial 2023, passing through the elegance and balance of Valdelosfrailes Crianza 2021, one of the most interesting expressions of the D.O. Cigales. Three projects that share the same philosophy: to highlight the landscape, viticultural tradition and the identity of their origin.
Each wine brings a different and complementary personality. Altos de Luzón Edición Especial 2023 pays homage to a demanding and generous land, showing all the potential of Jumilla through a wine born from respect for the vineyard and traditional cultivation. Valdelosfrailes Crianza 2021 faithfully reflects the character of Cigales thanks to its vineyards situated on alluvial, calcareous and pebbly soils, and to a maturation that adds complexity without eclipsing the fruit. Matsu El Pícaro 2025 represents the youth of a saga of growers who have shaped the unique character of Toro, with a vibrant, frank and full of personality style. A selection designed for those who enjoy exploring new territories and discovering some of the most appealing expressions of contemporary Spanish viticulture.
Altos de Luzón Edición Especial 2023 was created from the desire to pay tribute to a demanding and generous land located in the southeast of Spain. This wine represents the commitment of a winery that works with pride and responsibility to reveal the true potential of Jumilla and is the reflection of a way of life based on respect for traditional cultivation, constant improvement and love for a landscape that imprints character on each bunch.
Valdelosfrailes Crianza 2021 is one of the flagship wines of Carlos Moro, founder of Bodegas Familiares Matarromera. It is a red from Cigales made with Tempranillo and aged for 12 months in French and American oak. Fresh, elegant and with mineral character, it has already received important recognitions, such as 92 points from The Wine Advocate, Robert Parker's wine bible.
Matsu El Pícaro 2025 conveys swagger from the first glance. A red wine D.O. Toro made from Tinta de Toro, fresh and juicy, that signs Matsu with its younger, more direct and daring style. Critics have already fallen for this wine and, for now, Guía Peñín has rated it 90 points.
