“Intense red, thick and deep with lightly garnet reflections. Mature, with notes of red berries as blackberry, raspberry and cherry, floral notes of violet and hints of tobacco and vanilla coming fromthe aging in wood. Soft and juicy with elegant and fine tannins, this wine shows excellent structure and body.”
Mataro is an undiscovered gem in the Barossa with it being a staple of Barossa Winemaking for many generations. It thrives in the warm Mediterranean climate of the Barossa Valley. The Denim Mataro encompasses all the wonderful varietal characters of Mataro. It is a medium red colour with lifted spice, earthy notes raspberry and plum on the nose. The palate is medium bodied with great flavour intensity. Specifically raspberry fruit, some jubie notes, cherries, choc mint and eucalyptus.
The colour is mid red. The perfumed nose exhibits lifted redskin lollies, raspberry, wild strawberry fruit, with thyme and sweet spice notes. The juicy and fruit driven palate has raspberry fruit, orange blossom, ginger, mint and an earthy note. The old vines ensure weight and depth on the palate and the fleshy and supple tannins add to the mouthfeel of the wine with a mineral edge. The wine is balanced through the palate and the juicy berry flavours linger nicely.
