MATARO ROSÉ
Tax included.
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Aromas of rosehip, tangerine, bitters, pink pepper. Palate is of blood orange, watermelon, cranberry juice, tart and dry. There is a chalky dryness coming from the calcareous, limestone rich soils that personify the maritime influence of McLaren Vale with hints of sea spray and a crisp saline length. Juicy palate, but a little savoury as well with subtle bitterness and dried herbs. A delicious food friendly Rosé.

*Red Star Value, 93 points, Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion, February 2026:
From the Hunt Road vineyard, with vines planted in '98 on their own roots. Like almost all the portfolio, this comes in a lightweight, recycled bottle – as all wines should. A dusky, orangey pink, this is quite a full-fleshed rosé, dry but with succulent fruit sweetness. Tangelo, pressed watermelon, pink grapefruit/blood orange, pressed rose, ooray plum. It’s mouth-filling, pleasingly grippy, sapid, essentially more savoury than fruity, but with surprising fruitful power. It’s distinctively different of feel, and delicious with it.

The 2024 Mataro Rosé intrigues with its
gentle wafts of ham bone, fresh red cherry and autumn leaf aromas, with an
understated lining of old spices. This is dry and retains its composure and subtlety with savory, earthy tones delivered over a long, fine finish. Drinking window: 2025-2027.

A delicate rose petal pink hue. Cherry blossom, watermelon rind and alpine
strawberries. A wisp of cotton candy and rhubarb. The palate shows more Red delicious apples and some savoury dried meat tones. Paprika and biltong. It’s dry and finishes with a nectarine blush. A perfect wine for almost all food possibilities. A good all around Rosé. Drink now.

Mataro, Mourvèdre, Monastrell. Call it as you wish, but the most important thing here is that it can shine by itself without being the third wheeling in the GSM love story. It opens with fresh mulberries, black cherries, and pomegranate. It’s vibrant and fragrant, with an earthy, herbal component that reminds me of somewhere, under the summer sun, around the coastal area of Southern France. On the palate is ample, spicy, savoury and scream for some Cassoulet.
