Description
River 2024 is a natural wine crafted by , in the Roussillon region in . This light red wine is made with grapes, here with a softer, lighter 11% weight than usually found. Winemaker Tom Lubbe prefers delicate expressions and we are excited to try this new wine, which we expect to have the characteristics of Syrah (little spicy, peppery and with dark forest fruit touches) but with that typical Matassa edge.
This Syrah was grown a higher altitude than most other Matassa wines, at 500 meters near the town of Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet. After hand harvesting and being foot trodden, the wine sees 5 days of skin maceration before aging for 8 months in large, old Tonneaux barrels.
Limited quantity – ONE PER ORDER.
