Wines - 2018 Second Take Mataro
Second Take
The Wine
Due to the 84% whole bunch, the look screams bright, fresh and blue tones, and the aroma is too
similiar, with blue fruits taking first rank, with hints of herbaciousness and savoury tones.
This mataro shows savoury meaty characters, with lean chalky tannins, and a slight tone of iodine
and herbal characters play a part.
Light on its feet and not a typical bigger style of Mataro that is apparent in this area.
It is pretty, fragrant and just a pleasure and delight to see Mataro expressed like this.

Funky town Mataro. Whole bunches (84%), wild fermented, nine months in French oak (5% new), not fined or filtered.

Delicate, black fruited body, fine grain of tannin. It's persistent in its manner. Perhaps less varietal, in what you might consider typical from a Barossa perspective. Doesn't make it right. Or wrong. It's a second take, perhaps, on the variety. Prettier, for sure, fresh and nimble.
