Montague Estate Mataro

The Mataro grapes for this wine were sourced from Frankland River, a region renowned for its ideal climate for growing this versatile grape. The fruit was carefully de-stemmed and crushed into an open fermenter. After fermentation and the completion of malolactic fermentation, the wine was transferred to a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels (20% new). After 8 months in oak, the wine was bottled early to preserve the freshness of the fruit, achieving perfect harmony between the oak and the fruit.

Tasting Notes
The bouquet of the Montague Estate Mataro is bright and fresh, with inviting hints of oregano, sage, and light vanillin cocoa, woven together with a soft waft of tobacco leaf and fennel seed. On the palate, the wine delivers a delicious rasp of loganberry and dark cherry, fusing seamlessly with notes of Italian herbs and a gentle forest bramble. This is an airy, soft expression of Mataro, perfectly suited for warm spring days, showcasing the grape’s versatility and elegance.

Food Pairing
This Mataro pairs beautifully with venison burgers topped with melted roquefort, bringing out the richness of both the wine and the dish.

Reviews:
95 Points Ray Jordan –
This comes from the Swinney vineyard in Frankland River. This is a cracking wine displaying the distinctive regional ironstone light rust characters. Only 20% new French. There is a lift of perfumed red fruits with a little raspberry character. The palate is medium weight and so beautifully elegant and stylish. Has some nice wild brambly dried herbs characters.
