Matassa - Blanc 2019

Winemaker Tom Lubbe's greatest 'white' cuvée, made from Grenache Gris and Macabeu from grapes from over 100 year old vines, planted on schist. White is in quotes because the juice is not diréctly separated from the skins. Wine itself is aged for 18 months in large foudres and demi-muids, making it very mature for its age. Terroir wine full-length, with great textural intensity. Wine brimming with smokiness, yellow fruit and garrigue. Drinks nicely now, but many factors point to huge aging potential.
