On the palate

Festive wine, as the label suggests. In summer it pops out of the glass like a true fruit bomb. Think cherry candies, candy canes and blooming lavender fields. Sufficient grip in mouthfeel, without being angular. Fortunately also low in alcohol, and pleasantly high in the acid. Also reminiscent of Jura red in minerality, but the Matassa signature is certainly also present.

In 2001 New Zealanders Tom Lubbe and (now MW) Sam Harrop purchased a small old vineyard high up in the hills of Coteaux du Fenouillèdes called Clos Matassa. The vineyard was run down at the time and planted with just old-vine Carignan. Fifteen years on Domaine Matassa is run solely by Tom has converted to Biodynamics increased its land-holding and now produces an array of wines from varieties including Muscat d’Alexandrie Maccabeu Grenache Gris Syrah and Mourvèdre.
