Single Vineyard Selection Hoffmann DV Barossa Mataro
Barossa, South Australia, Australia
Thorn Clarke Barossa single vineyard selection Mataro 2018
A 100 % Mataro (mourvedre) from down under. Spice, black pepper, plum, blackberry on the nose. The palate is surprisingly easy going and plush where I expected something a bit rougher around the edges. Rather low acidity, a great width blackberry notes and black pepper, there are tannins but they caress the tongue rather than disrupting the mouthfeel and they kick off a long fruity finish that ends with black pepper and a tiny bitter note. It's 14,6% abv but you don't feel it. Good aussie red!
