About

La Mateo Colección de Familia – Garnacha Cepas Viejas 2019 is a limited-production Rioja crafted from 75-year-old Garnacha vines in Aldeanueva de Ebro, offering exceptional concentration and varietal purity. It displays a deep cherry-red colour and an elegant, expressive bouquet of compoted red and black fruits, perfectly balanced with sweet spices, cocoa, blond tobacco and a signature lactic note that enhances harmony and depth.

The winemaking process is designed to maximise complexity and finesse: cold pre-fermentation maceration, controlled fermentation with daily punch-downs, natural malolactic fermentation in new barrels and 15 months of ageing in 225 L French oak with a custom “Respect” toast selected specifically for this cuvée. Natural clarification and unfiltered bottling preserve its authenticity and texture.

On the palate, it is full, fleshy and profound, with well-balanced acidity and a mineral backbone that brings precision and elegance. The finish is long, creamy and refined, with lingering fruit and sweet oak notes. This old-vine Garnacha stands out for its structure, personality and premium positioning—qualities highly valued in international markets. It pairs beautifully with roast lamb, suckling pig, game stews, duck magret and mature cheeses.
