Kay Brothers Basket Pressed Mataro

Mataro (Mourvèdre) has been grown at Kay Brothers since our inaugural vintage. This traditional southern Rhône variety is right at home here in McLaren Vale.A variety with over a century of history in McLaren Vale, though its popularity has ebbed and flowed over the years.Known for its ripe fruit and savoury, earthy under currents. It provides a generous, robust mouth feel and loose knit tannin structure. In the past a small percentage of Mataro would be used to bolster colour and structure in our Shiraz.Our small block planted at the base of the hill enjoys all the sun it can get, often being the last variety to be picked each year.
