Pale salmon pink tinged colour. Fragrant raspberry, peach and musk scents emanate from the glass followed by some delicate spice. Tasty peach, raspberry and strawberry fruits have a wonderful slippery textural feel. Picks up a dash of spice on the dry fresh finish and concludes with a vibrantly fruited aftertaste.
As with all the Prometheus range, the grapes for this wine are sourced from the Riverland, this time a famous name in Australian wine, the Chaffey Vineyard. My usual view of Mataro, a Spanish variety also known as Monastrell or Mourvèdre or a few other things, is that as a wine, it works best as a blending component where it can offer its power, high alcohol, colour, big and bold flavours of dark fruits and its perfumes. There are occasional single varietal efforts and I enjoy looking at them but usually I am left thinking, too much of a good thing and better to blend. For me, this is an example of that. I should state that I know plenty of winelovers who will disagree with me on this. What I find over the top, they love. If that is you, then definitely chase this.
Highly Rated - Stuart Knox The Real Review
Pale onion-skin-pink colour in the glass. Raspberry and clotted cream aromatics. Forward red fruit with hints of caramel. The front-palate shows good intensity but it fades quite quickly to a slightly sweet finish
