12% alcohol, cork, Penedés/Spain.

Grown biodynamically. 84 months on lees. Made with 40% Xarel·lo (planted in 1960), 30% Macabeo and 30% Parellada (both planted 1969). Brut Nature.

Pristine aromatics. Aged, fresh, complex, immaculate. This is quality wine. Oysters, lemons, breads, creamy autolytic characters, sherried notes, honey on toast. Brut nature but it doesn’t matter at this stage, it has flesh and softness and breadth and more. Oystery notes talk over the savoury complexity of the finish. This is finesse. This is excellent. 95 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
