An absolute pleasure to see our Mataquemada 2021 named as the best red wine from Aragon by Beth Willard in the Tim Atkin Aragon report 2024. This is the second year that this wine has achieved that distinction, last year thanks to Santi Rivas in Esquire magazine.
Beth gave the wine a whopping 98 points and says:”With aromas of mountain herbs, balsamic notes and petrichor, the wine is elegant and direct with a red cherry core. A wonderfully unique and profound wine that expresses the rugged freshness of the wilds of Calatayud.”
Tim and Beth were kind enough to come along and give us a certificate at Prowein.
Mataquemada comes from our highest vineyard – at 970m above sea level – in the village of Torrijo de la Cañada on the banks of the river Manubles. The label is a depiction of the 394 underground bodegas carved out of the hillside over looking the village where the locals used to make wine.
