Description
Rouge 2024 by is a popular natural wine made in the hot south of France, in Roussillon, with 100% grapes taken from very old vines (seemingly 100+ years old from what we hear).
The grapes are fermented destemmed, giving it a slight vegetal touch and mild spicy element. Aged using various vessels such as cement tanks, clay and neutral, old wooden barrels.
Despite being light, with this Matassa Rouge you can expect some nice French soul, a little tannic grip and a perfect pairing for a cheeseboard!
How does Matassa Rouge 2022 taste?
We enjoyed a lot of mostly fruit-forward notes like blueberry, stewed apple alongside some mild herbal hints and subtle vanilla creamy vibes. This is a perfect Carignan!
