Nose – Black peppercorn, raspberries, sage and strawberry liqueur. Palate – Balance of savoury and fruit sweetness, stalky tannins provide structure and drive.

Mataro was brought to Australia by James Busby in 1832 from Perpignan in the Roussillon in southern France and has shown its suitability to the Barossa Valley climate exceptionally well ever since. The broad appeal to Mataro lies in its earthy ruggedness and ability to show finesse and structure. While often used as a blending component, at Turkey Flat we feel Mataro deserves to star in its own right as a single varietal.

The Cirillo Mataro is an ode to Barossa history and old clones of the region. Cuttings were taken from nine individual rouge Mataro vines amongst our 1850 Grenache vineyard. Marco Cirillo propagated these nine vines in a nursery at the winery. Then he replanted these in 2005, as bush vineyard (no trellising) on the Cirillo property. As it is a small block, it only equates to around 60 dozen made each year. This wine is generous and silky with beautiful depth. It shows structured flavour with fine tannins. Made naturally in open fermenters, gently basket pressed, then left to mature in seasoned French oak barrels for 12 months. This allows the Mataro to show its true terroir. A wine that can be forgotten in the cellar for the next 10 to 20 years.

A blend of 67% Grenache sourced from a single vineyard over 100 years old from Cockatoo Valley with 33% Shiraz sourced from Gomersal. Aged in new and seasoned oak barrels, this wine displays a red-brick colour with aromatics of black cherry, blueberry and rose petal, which follows through to the palate with fine ripe tannins and cinnamon oak. Excellent drinking now or over the next 7 years
