Mato is a native of San Vicente de la Sonsierra and owns several old vineyards high on the slopes of the Sierra Cantabria, El Espinal among them; the name refers to the pines that have always stood on those exposed slopes. The site is limestone and clay, planted to bush vines of Maturana Tinta, a variety re-emerging in Rioja. The winemaking is unusual as well. Puyaubert uses vinification intégrale, fermenting in closed 600-litre French oak barrels that are rolled several times a day, with no pump-overs and no pigeage, so the wine is infused rather than extracted. After pressing, the juice returns to the same casks for fifteen months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicked a month after the estate's Ábalos fruit, it drinks well now and for a decade. Try it with grilled lamb, duck or mushrooms at 16°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
