Matassa Brutal 2022 is a unique natural wine from Grenache Noir, Muscat Petit Grain and Syrah. The grapes were macerated whole bunches and then gently pressed into large 600l oak barrels, where the wine matured for 10 months. The aroma is dominated by fresh notes of raspberries and cherries, which gradually develop into subtle hints of anise and herbal accents. This unfiltered and unfined wine with no added sulfur is full of liveliness and authentic character, making it a great choice for lovers of natural wines.

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.
