MATARO
Tax included.
This is the first time since 2014 that we have done a 100% Mataro, back then we called it: "Monastrell" but also known as Mourvèdre. We feel like this is a real Australian version and we could not resist holding it back for a special small batch release. Intense pepper and rustic nose of red earth, dives into a big basket of blackberries, finishing with food-friendly tannins. It is firm now but has a solid structure for ageing, we are really proud of this, some power and passion here.

"Often seen alongside Shiraz and Grenache, Mataro (aka Monastrell/Mourvèdre) can be quite delightful by itself. While often leaning towards the dark spectrum, I found this Mataro to be very red-fruited, with high-toned characters of raspberry, mulberry, strawberry, a touch of black cherry, and some black pepper. It was both ultra-ripe while also having a high amount of acidity, which can be tamed when pairing with something spicy or richly flavoured."
