From the northern Barossa comes this Hayes Family Wines Alice's Mataro.
The nose unfurls with aromas of dried purple flowers and dark cherries, a bouquet that hints at something rustic yet alluring. Those florals continue to the palate, offering a gentle mouth perfume before the fruit takes on a slightly stewed character. Smoked meats and leather weave through the mid-palate, adding savoury charm and depth, while soft spices hum quietly in the background. It’s a wine that feels both hearty and comforting, the kind that begs for food alongside it. Fire up the barbecue and pour this next to burgers or paella and you’ll find it right at home.
