Matassa, Tommy Ferriol 2024
Place: Roussillon, France
Grape: Syrah + Muscat
Vibe: Juicy
What Tom Lubbe is doing is revolutionary. Inspiring, yes but more importantly, it’s delicious. While others are ripping out vines due to the heat, he’s somehow managed to find a way to craft wines that are so vibrant and fresh.
Sure, these might not be for those with a more traditional palate. But for the open-minded, there’s so much beauty to discover. The garrigue character is unmistakable, yet the fruit stays fresh and vivid. The touch of Muscat just lifts everything. The 2024 release is stunning across the board. ABV: 10%
