Hand-picked, wild-fermented with 20% whole bunches, unfined/unfiltered, 177 dozen made. Shows how much flavour can be achieved at lower than conventional alcohol levels, resulting in fresh, vibrant varietal fruit, a juicy mix of raspberry and blood plum, the tannins sufficient but no more.

Barossa mataro rarely gets to shine on its own, often destined to provide interest in GSM blends. In its own right, when grown and made correctly, mataro can be a wine with considerable presence. Schwarz have, unsurprisingly, given the quality of the 2016 vintage, produced a lovely red that stands well on its own two feet, with varietal tangy, meatiness over pure red berry fruit.
