Matassa began with Carignan, fermented in a living room from a 3-body family operation. Gerard, Nathalie and Tom (who's been making wine naturally long before it was hip), are in a unique position; Windowing where france meets spain. Pale reds/dark whites of spanish grapes grown in the hot south of france 

This 100% Carignan is as pure as it gets - indiginous yeats from low yeild-hand picked-old vines, whole cluster from healthy soil. Even opting for fiberglass tanks (finding it most neutral) 

tart red fruit, flowers and baking spice done in a style that homogenizes vin de soif with serious take your time wine
