About the wine

2 max/customer

Tom's top red wine, and the only one that isn't a parcellaire or named for a single parcel.

Carignan, Grenache Gris, and 10% of the cépage is a field blend of white varieties. All the vines are ~110 years-old and grown in a variety of marl-dominant soils. The grapes see a whole-cluster, 4-day maceration in fiberglass prior to pressing, a single racking, and fermenting / undergoing a short élevage in demi-muid. Zero/zero. 11.5%ABV

 

The Producer: Domaine Matassa (Tom Lubbe)

A chance internship brought New Zealander Tom Lubbe to the south of France where he fell in love with both the winemaking and the winemaker's daughter, Nathalie Gauby. After learning the Catalan winemaking ropes from his future father-in-law Gérard, Tom and Nathalie struck out on their own in 2002. They purchased ancient Carignan vines in the remote hillside village of Vivier, saving these 100+ year old beauties from extinction. And so Domaine Matassa was born! Fermenting their first vintage in their living room before upgrading to Gérard's old cellars, Matassa works with old vines of traditional varieties like Carignan, Grenache and Macabeu. These wise old vines, farmed naturally by hand, yield concentrated wines of intense focus rarely seen in the south. With native yeasts and no additives besides a kiss of sulfur at bottling, Matassa's wines are a subtle, acid-driven revelation.
