Itâs immediately apparent this wine is made from skill and experience - rather than from a newcomer to the French natural wine arena. Matassa Rouge is 100% early picked Carignan from South African/New Zealand transplant to the Southern RhĂ´ne, Tom Lobbe.
Itâs beautifully pure, perfectly concentrated, and elegantly fresh - frontloaded with ripe berries and minerals. Youâll notice some sulfur stink which will subside after ten or fifteen minutes. Then blackberries, raspberries, and mulberries. Silky smooth.
You wonât remember the grape so much as the winemaking.

Wow! Fresh, funky, fruity, super smoky, light, fresh, medium acid, super salty and a little grainy but a real silky finish... nice!
