Matassa Blanc 2022

Cotes Catalanes Blanc is a white wine produced by Matassa a Calce, in Languedoc Roussillon, and obtained from manually harvested Granache Gris and Macabeu grapes. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and two-week maceration, then aging for 14 months in wood. Bottled without additions, clarifications or filtrations. Cotes Catalanes Blanc on the nose recalls hints of spices, flint and pear, hazelnut and sultanas; in the mouth it is fresh and salty, full-bodied and with a long finish, ideal in combination with pecorino di fossa

Tom Lubbe, from South Africa to a small village of 300 people in Roussillon, without return.

It was 2002 and in a short time Tom became a cult producer not only for the wonderful terroir of Calce.

His wines are tense, nervous and mineral like the granite on which the old sapling vines are planted, at the same time graceful and ethereal, like the wind that unfailingly combs those wild hills.
