2020 Greenock Creek Mataro 750ml

Imagine resting your head in a historic, character-packed Spanish villa. The rustic, sun-soaked kind overlooking an overgrown garden full of fruit trees and promise. This dry grown Mataro is as close as youll get without the plane ticket. Theres a savoury edge to its delivery; a bowl of cereal topped with fresh cut plums, plucked from a nearby orchard. Black olive aromas whisper on the wind and the faint whiff of muscatels adds to the mix. A whirlwind of red and black berries and star anise follows. The composition is chunky, like the old stone steps leading the way to the village at the top of the hill. Theres depth, a punchiness to it, and great length the kind you want from a holiday abroad, even if its via the bottle. Happy travels. Katie Spain
