Matetic EQ Organic Pinot Noir 2015
Matetic EQ produces this Pinot Noir following organic and biodynamic procedures. It carries an appealing aroma of strawberry, light raspberry, sweet cherries and plum. On the palate it is medium to rather dry but it is smooth and medium weighted with notes of oak, vanilla, cherries and raspberries. Biodynamic viticulture is one strut in the tripod of eco-friendly practices the Matetic Vineyard follows in its winemaking - it is certified organic and sustainable as well as biodynamic. Regarding the Rosario Valley as a single organism, the team works hard to maintain the health of the ground (using Rudolf Steiner’s preparations of quartz, manure, herbs etc in cow horns but only using indigenous materials), the crops and the varied animal life in the ecosystem. Grape pomace is added to compost from the restaurant to be reused in the Matetic vineyards, as is water which has been used to clean barrels. Food Pairing: This organic Pinot Noir is well suited to a poultry based dish or game meats like venison or veal.
Yalumba, 'The Cigar' Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
A sleek, modern take on Cabernet from one of Australia’s most dependable hands. It’s refined rather than forceful, showing dark fruit, fine-grained tannins and well-judged oak that adds shape without overshadowing the fruit. Named after the long, narrow shape of the vineyard parcels, The Cigar is all about line and balance. A confident, polished Cabernet that drinks well now but will reward a few years in bottle.
