Brash Higgins MATO 2016

Description

The Mataro is picked before it becomes too ripe, placed it in an open fermenter with plenty of whole bunches intact. This wine is a little wild, with lovely tannins, and gorgeous aromas of tar, forest berries, black peppercorn and other dry spices. The aromas carry through very nicely to the palate. It was held back for a year to develop these characteristics and let the tannins loosen up just a hair. The purity and focus of this wine is something else Brash Higgins is quite proud of.
