Bosque Matasnos

Bosque Matasnos

This unique wine estate is in the upper highlands of Burgos. They have a total of 240 hectares, with 70 under vine. The property also includes an 80-hectare forest. The vineyards were planted in 1966 and are diversified into three levels near the Duero River with slopes.

We visited Jaime Postigo Gomez at a small house located in the middle of the property. From there, he drove us around the vast estate of 100% certified organic and sustainable vineyards.

They are planting many things throughout the land in a sustainable program. Jaime has plans to grow truffles by implementing a program that will provide the correct environment for truffles to grow and thrive.

There are also plans to build a new winery on the estate. When we visited, the steel framework had already been erected. Jaime expects that construction will be finalized in the next 24 months.

After we toured the property, we returned to the small vineyard house for a guided wine tasting with Jaime, where his two loving dogs joined us.
