Matassa, Romanissa 2021
Place: Roussillon, France
Grape: Lledoner Pelut (Hairy Grenache)
Vibe: Seductive
A mutation of Grenache with hairy skin. Dw, I know it sounds kind of gross, just trust me when I say it tastes really delicious. High acid pushes the fruit into the realm of bitter blood orange, alongside plenty of white pepper and herbs. Grenache from the South can often veer into jammy and flabby. This is worlds apart, and probably has more in common with a red you'd find up in the Jura. After a few years in bottle, this is in a very good place too. Not just a mere novelty. ABV: 11%
