Matassa - Blossom 2025

Blossom 2025 is one of Tom Lubbe's rarest wines. This orange wine made from 100% Muscat comes from an old planting on pure schist in Roussillon. Tiny production and a distinctive character make it one of the most interesting bottles in the entire Matassa range. The grapes undergo a fifteen-day skin maceration, and the wine then ages for four months in a combination of large wooden barrels and concrete. This gives it deeper colour, more structure and a fine grip. On the nose you'll find orange blossom, apricots, citrus peel and herbs. The palate is dry, aromatic and layered, with pleasant acidity and a slightly bitter, mineral finish. The wine is made by spontaneous fermentation without filtration, fining or added sulphites. Blossom deserves a larger glass and a little time after opening. Excellent with bolder cheeses or spiced dishes.
