Turkey FlatEstate Barossa Valley Mataro 2022
About this product
Mataro was brought to Australia by James Busby in 1832 from Perpignan in the Roussillon in southern France and has shown its suitability to the Barossa Valley climate exceptionally well ever since. The broad appeal to Mataro lies in its earthy ruggedness and ability to show finesse and structure. While often used as a blending component, at Turkey Flat we feel Mataro deserves to star in its own right as a single varietal

95 points The Wine Front
I prefer Mataro over Mourvedre when the wine is Australian. Something quite nice about it. Some flinty reduction here, blue and black fruit, lots of dried herb perfume, iodine and spice. It’s medium-bodied, but concentrated, with thick crushed stone tannin, meaty and coffee flavoured, but perfumed too with all that scrub herb, acidity is very fresh, and the whole thing comes over as being highly purple in nature, if you take my meaning, and the finish is long and firm. Excellent. Such vigour and character. A whole lot of ‘mineral’ stuff in tow.
