Matassa Blanc 2025 is one of Tom Lubbe's most characteristic white wines. A cuvée of 70% Grenache Gris and 30% Macabeu from century-old vineyards on the schist slopes of Roussillon at around 400 metres above sea level. It is precisely the old vines and the distinctive subsoil that give the wine its depth and mineral character. On the nose you'll find citrus, white flowers and delicate notes of honey and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is dry, fresh and elegant, with pronounced minerality, fine structure and a long saline finish. Despite its concentration, it feels very light and natural. The grapes are pressed gently and the wine ferments spontaneously. It then ages for ten months in large oak barrels, with no new wood. Unfiltered, unfined and with no added sulphites. Excellent with fish, seafood, poultry or simply on its own in a larger glass.

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.
