Hidden under the Monastrell and Mourvèdre aliases, Mataro has too often been relegated to the rank of a ‘blend only’ grape. The time for a Resurrection is upon us. Driven by a new generation of Barossa winemakers, Mataro is now taking its rightful place as a variety of regional significance.

Deep colour; rich ripe and concentrated aromas of dark plums and a faint whiff of eucalyptus/mint, dark chocolate and subtle toasty oak too. It's full bodied and rich, with a fleshy core and satisfying weight and mouth-feel. A generous, full-bodied red that will richly reward a few years in the cellar. Great value, too.
