Tom Lubbe is a dear friend, making iconic beautiful white, red and orange wines and has carved an indelible niche for himself in the Côtes Catalanes. 

Blossom 2019

100% Muscat Petite Grain

The vineyard has cherry trees planted around it hence the grapes grow near the blossoms. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, no filtering or fining and bottled without sulfites added. This is a rarity among Matassa's cuvées. Limited availability.

El Carner Rouge 2019

60% Grenache Gris & 40% Macabeu 

From a tiny (0.5-hectare!) parcel of vines surrounded by wild garrigue (scrubland). Sappy, lush and at just 10.5% this is far less fearsome than its name - ‘The Ram’ in English.

Mambo Sun 2019

70 % Grenache (Noir, Gris, Blanc) 30% Maccabeu

Whole cluster fermentation in closed tanks to avoid extraction (no need for punch down), pressed after 5 days of maceration and aged in concrete tanks before bottling after 6 months.

Ace Of Spades 2019

60% Carignan & 40% Mouvedre

Grown on black marl soil with volcanic bedrock (Myrs Vineyard). Vines planted from 1950-1985.

Fact: The three small trees in the Matassa logo represent the three partners of the winery - Tom, his wife Nathalie and Sam Harrop.
