Rosenvale VineyardsEstate Grown Mataro 2017
About this product
Our Mataro / Mourvedre vineyard is one of our younger vineyards planted to 3 selections of this variety, D2V13, D3V7 and our pedigree selection RDPMM. The vines are grown on brown loam over red clay soil and minimal till. These vines enjoy a small amount of additional food and supplementary water to help maintain then on tough days. The vine is trained to a single wire trellis system with lift wires. Detailed spur pruning gives better bunch positioning and a limited number of grapes per year.
In the winery, our Mataro took its time in the vineyard to reach maturity and it tasted so good we left it a week longer. This parcel was fermented in 2 batches with 2 different cultured yeasts. Twice daily pump overs and gently pushing down the cap. After ferment is done, we press the juice from the skins with our computer controlled open slot air bag press to barrel. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation then we rack and return to barrel for maturation.
This is a single vineyard wine blended for bottling.
Fresh cherry, sweet herbs, liquor plum make their way from the glass inviting one to sample. Plums, cherries, cloves, dark berries, licorice all come to mind wrapped in silky tannin with balance. Greeted by a hint of dark chocolate on the finish and slightly drying.

Combining sweet fruit richness with a savoury undertone, this gorgeously styled red shows blackcurrant, smoked game, bay leaf, cedar and pepper spice notes on the nose, leading to a sumptuous palate that's generous and lingering. Bold and opulent with terrific fruit power and textured mouthfeel. At its best: now to 2030.
