Torbreck The Pict Mataro 2009

Mataro (or Mourvédre as it is called in France) was once a ‘workhorse variety’ used for fortified winemaking in Australia, but is now receiving due acknowledgement as a superb varietal table wine, taking its place alongside Barossa Shiraz and Grenache.

A remnant quarry is the source of this single vineyard from which the fruit exhibits a wild, rugged aroma that is reminiscent of the earthy Mataros from the Bandol region of France.

Why we love this:

The quality of Torbreck's winemaking compliments perfectly the complexity from the amazing fruit. This is a serious fine wine.
