Matassa - Cuvée Alexandria 2025

Cuvée Alexandria 2025 is a striking orange wine made from 100% Muscat d'Alexandrie by Tom Lubbe in France's Roussillon. The grapes come from old vineyards on schist, and thanks to extended maceration the wine gains a far more interesting structure than you'd expect from a classic Muscat. Apricots, orange peel, dried flowers and delicate herbs appear on the nose. The palate is dry, aromatic and fuller, with more pronounced texture, pleasant grip and a slightly bitter finish. The rich Muscat aromatics are beautifully balanced by fresh acidity and a mineral character. Whole bunches undergo a long skin maceration and the wine then ages in large wooden barrels. Spontaneous fermentation, unfiltered, unfined and with no added sulphites. Great with bolder cheeses, Middle Eastern and Asian cuisine or spiced vegetable dishes.
