Le Matelas
17pts …‘Within the orbit of sinuous chamois-leather and cocoa-dusted tannins, the wine is intense and umami – like ripe strawberries, barberries and roasted hazelnuts in a tamari dressing. There is a quiet thrum of energy at the centre, as if the wine is purring with contentment’. Jancisrobinson.com

Vinification
Destemmed grapes fermented in small concrete tanks for 6 weeks before pressing. Grenache and Cinsault are blended then aged for 12 months in a foudre. Mourvèdre stored in tank on fine lees before final blending. After a light filtration the wine is bottled to a descending moon for aging potential, with minimal added sulphur to protect the wine.
Fantastic with pizza, grilled meat and oily fish.
Pairs well with grilled vegetables, veggie cheese bakes and lentil/bean dishes.
