Description
Fruit sourced from 40yo vines from the Trillians vineyard which is a high set vineyard over 500m in Polish Hill River sub region of the Clare Valley. These low yielding vines in a mild vintage produced depth and complexity in the fruit showing dark black & blue fruit and hints of rose petal and violets. Aged in 25% new French to highlight the beauty of this variety and its quality as a single variety wine. A variety that performs well with slow cooked meats and even spicy dishes, and as it interacts with the food can become morish that just keeps you pouring a little bit more. Enjoy!

Mataro 2022
The grape was long known in the Clare Valley as mataro before its alternate, sexier
French moniker, mourvèdre, dominated wine labels. So, here’s to mataro, and here’s
to a wine that celebrates all of the grape’s natural deep colour, spice and black
berried oomph. It’s one tidy and mighty tasty wine with almost an old school,
laid-back ease. Nothing is rushed as the wine slowly unfurls in plum, blackberry,
oregano spice, sage and lifted aromatic violet florals. There’s a lick of woodsy oak
with a good depth of supple yet dense tannins towards the finish. There’s also some
cellaring potential. Drink now–2032
