Showcasing Mataro in its purest form, this new release from Tenafeate Creek sees no oak.
An inviting wine with pleasing depth and plenty of interest, plums and blueberries make the first impression with beef stock and pan juices not far from the action.
Char, meatiness and earthy things muse. Softly spiced, there is a focus on the palate that is concentrated to the space of a postage stamp. Meat lovers pizza material, it would also wash down a burger or kebab with ease. A tidy debut.
Drink to five years.
