Tasting Notes
Gemtree's Mataro from McLaren Vale is a deeply expressive, terroir-driven red that showcases the variety at its sun-drenched best. On the nose, brooding aromas of blackberry compote, dried fig, and crushed violets mingle with hints of dark chocolate and warm earth. The palate is generous and richly textured, delivering waves of black cherry, plum paste, and licorice root, underpinned by a savoury backbone of leather, garrigue, and cracked black pepper. Tannins are firm yet supple, with a Mediterranean herb quality that speaks to the variety's Spanish and Southern French heritage. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of mocha and dried herbs that reward patience in the glass.
