Matassa Blanc 2025 in magnum is an elegant white cuvée of Grenache Gris and Macabeu from century-old vineyards on the schist slopes of Roussillon. The grapes grow at higher elevations, where they retain their freshness and natural acidity despite the hot Mediterranean climate. Citrus, white flowers, delicate herbs and a light touch of honey appear on the nose. The palate is dry, mineral and beautifully structured, with pleasant acidity, gentle creaminess and a long saline finish. The wine has depth while keeping its elegance and lightness. After gentle pressing, the wine ferments spontaneously and ages for ten months in large oak barrels. Unfiltered, unfined and with no added sulphites. The magnum allows for slower ageing and is ideal for special dinners, sharing with friends or laying down in the cellar. A beautiful white that will still have plenty to offer after several years.

In 2001, New Zealand native Tom Lubbe founded the Domaine Matassa winery in the southernmost region of France, on the border with Spain. In the Roussillon region, he grows the typical varieties of this region: Macabeu, Grenache Gris, Carignan and Grenache. All this at an altitude of 450 meters above sea level and with a very low production of around 3,500 kg per hectare. Everything is processed by hand. Apart from a small amount of SO2 used after fermentation, no other additives are added to the wines.

Since 2003, they have been farming in a biodynamicbiodynamic regime. Tom Lubbe recently moved the winery to the village of Montner, about 10 kilometers to Calce, but the vineyards have of course remained in their original location.
