Product description for Matassa Matassa Rouge VdF 2023

Tasting Tom Lubbe’s wines is a special experience. Wines full of life and energy, wild, untamed, true, and challenging. Tom – born in New Zealand and raised in the Cape – first attracted attention with The Observatory in the Swartland. After an internship with Gérard Gauby, Tom stayed with him for three years and married Gérard’s sister, Nathalie. The beginning of his own winery was the 2001 purchase of Clos Matassa, an ancient Carignan parcel in the high hinterland of Roussillon. In 2003, Nathalie and Tom founded Domaine Matassa with old vineyards in Calce and Fénouillèdes. Two things make Tom’s wines so distinctive. In the vineyards, he relies on green manure and permanent cover crops to revitalize the soil and vines, reducing potential alcohol and pH levels. In the cellar, where he has banned sulfites and destemmers, this leads to healthy fermentation processes. This is how his wines are created in the most natural way and develop their own unique expression. Revolutionary.
