Olla Rouge 2025 is a light, juicy red from France's Roussillon, which Tom Lubbe makes from Grenache Noir combined with local white and grey varieties, mainly Macabeu and Grenache Gris. The grapes come from organically farmed vineyards on iron-rich clay-limestone soils. Fresh cherries, raspberries, redcurrants and gentle spice appear on the nose. On the palate the wine is fresh, fruity and light, with lively acidity and very fine tannins. Exactly the kind of red that benefits from a light chill. Whole bunches macerate together briefly in concrete vessels, after which the wine ferments spontaneously and rests on its lees for several months. Unfiltered, unfined and with no added sulphites. Great with pizza, charcuterie or a summer barbecue.

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.
