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.
