Usually in the company of its buddies Shiraz and Grenache, Mataro (Mourvedre) done well is a cracking drink. And this certainly falls into that category.
Handpicked, wild yeast, 26% whole bunch, unfined and unfiltered, it's funky and bunchy. Generous blue and dark fruit lift this off the turf to the dizzy heights of the pleasure zone. It runs smooth, deep and long with supple feels coupled with licks of clove and soft spices to close. The type of wine you can tuck into on the verandah at sunset, in front of the fire or beside a chunk of protein. No one loses here.
Drink now to eight years.
