About the wine
A unique, distinctive, evocative Australian red!
Caroline Dunn is Aussie wine royalty and her small batch of Barossa red deliciousness returns! Mataro is one of Barossa valley’s most beguiling varieties and her fresh winemaking approach lets the fruit speak for itself. In fact, it has been speaking VERY loudly! This wine won an incredible three trophies at the 2023 Barossa Wine Show, including the big one - the Seguin Moreau Trophy for Best Red Wine! It was also awarded Top Gold Medal for Top Gold Medal for Dry Mataro/Mourvèdre, Vintage 2022 or older and the Riedel Trophy for Best Mataro/Mourvèdre.
This Mataro is an expressive, graceful and captivating wine. Complex dark purple fruits, savoury notes, exotic spices and hints of violet florals on the nose follow through to a sleek, supple and lively palate. It is medium-bodied, with plenty of soft, generous flavour and long, silky satiny tannins.
This bright, modern Barossa Valley red features plenty of fruit and a smooth, supple palate on release and will develop further complex layers over time. With premium fruit selected from a single vineyard in Light Pass - it’s got a stunning pedigree!
Best before
This bright, modern wine features plenty of fruit and a smooth, supple palate on release. With careful short to medium-term ageing it will develop further subtle complexity.
Serving advice
While not essential to this wineÂ’s enjoyment, allowing it to breathe for 30 minutes before drinking will more fully express its natural character. Serve at room temperature, or in warm weather allow to chill for 20-30 minutes in the fridge.
Food match
Great with roasted and grilled red meats, as well as dark white meats. The long tannin structure is the perfect offset to juicy meats like duck and pork. MataroÂ’s earthy spice is delicious with mushrooms and root vegetables, as well as dishes flavoured with Chinese, Mediterranean and Mexican spices. Great food matches would include crispy five-spice duck; Mexican pulled pork tacos; mushroom, thyme and goat curd tart; or roasted root vegetable risotto.
