Clovella Mataro/Grenache, Barossa Valley 2019

Clovella is a field planting of roughly 70/30 Mataro and Grenache. It is a 40 year old vineyard from the Gomersal sub-district of the Barossa Valley that Rolf Binder and Noel Young have been cultivating themselves for many years.

The wine spends 22 months in older French oak. The purpose of this wine is to show Mataro and Grenache with some development rather than the super-juicy-young-bright Grenache of the moment.

I often have talked or mentioned wines that ‘over deliver’ and we feel this is certainly one of them. It’s a smacker (see label)!
