As its name says, Nada Que Ver has nothing to do with conventional wines. It is a singularity (a wine that we consider extraordinary, rare, excellent, unique, and extravagant) due to being the first single-varietal wine made with Maturana Tinta.
A wine that reflects all the character, strength, and power of its variety; and, together with the toasted oak, you enter a world of aromas unknown in Rioja. Violet, clove, coffee, liqueur-filled chocolates, balsamic, and mint notes that make you want to continue exploring the world of this intoxicating grape variety.
TIM ATKIN: Nada Que Ver is always among the most distinctive expressions of Maturana Tinta in Rioja. Pilar Torrecilla thinks it is the best vintage to date, with soft, velvety tannins, aromas of bramble and cut grass, elegant new oak and a ripe, bright finish.

Rich stew of tender meat with a dense and flavorful sauce. It is a traditional family dish that is quite a delicacy when cooked over low heat, and makes the most out of the flavors of this great Maturana Tinta variety. A wine that makes you never get tired of eating and drinking.
In October, the Maturana Tinta grapes are harvested by hand, a magical moment when an explosion of color invades the wooden barrels where they will ferment for a few days. Daily punching down, with no added yeasts – only indigenous yeasts, and minimal intervention in all winemaking processes. This turns a small grape into a powerful wine.
Its journey has only just begun. It will remain in wood for many months, mellowing until it acquires the complexity that makes it a unique wine, whose originality does not go unnoticed.
APPEARANCE: It has a very intense cherry-red color with violet hints, indicating that the wine is still young.
NOSE: Even without swirling the glass, it is an explosion of nuances and subtle fragrances. As you move the wine around, intense fruity aromas of ripe black fruit such as black currant and blackberry, along with fine notes of violets appear, all accompanied by sweet smoke and a background of aromatic herbs.
PALATE: Full and generous, fresh and fruity entry with the mineral notes so characteristic of our terroir. Sweet notes of cocoa and mint. The sensual tannins are very integrated with the wood and a long and persistent finish invites you to keep drinking.
The highlight of this vintage was the growing season because of the excellent health of the vineyard in the last phase of the crop cycle. The harvest was the earliest in the history of Rioja, turning out limited yields of great quality. It was characterized by good weather at the end of the season and by an improvement in the initial production expectations after a year marked by frost and drought.
The correct development of the vineyard and the absence of major pests or diseases allowed the grapes to remain healthy.
Average alcohol content was slightly higher than the previous year, with an interesting diversity in the wines marked in large part by the tight yields and a high potential for aging. The wines are refined and elegant, complex and distinctive.
