Olla Blanc Vin de France 2024 Matassa
In Catalan, Olla means pot, and it takes its name from the Coume de l'Olla vineyard: a natural basin just outside Calce where Tom Lubbe has planted and restored old vines of traditional Catalan varieties. It is the gateway to the world of Matassa, the winery that Tom has transformed into one of the absolute benchmarks of French natural wine since 2003.
L'Olla Blanc is a blend of Macabeu Moscato à Petits Grains, from vines between 30 and 45 years old planted between 500 and 600 meters above sea level, on limestone and red clay soils rich in iron. Hand-harvested, spontaneous fermentation with only indigenous yeasts and about two weeks of whole cluster skin maceration in concrete tanks. Eight months on the lees in the same concrete, bottled unfiltered, unfined and without a drop of added sulfur: Tom has not used any in the entire winery since 2015.

Profumo |
Aromatic and fresh nose of citrus, apricot, garrigue herbs, candied peel, and a note of chamomile. Light but layered orange profile. |
Gusto |
Tense, saline mouthfeel, with delicate tannins from the maceration and a freshness that propels the entire sip. Eleven degrees that drink like ten, immediate drinkability without any effort. The house signature: orange as a concept, not as a struggle. |

Mediterranean fish cuisine, chicken tagine, medium-aged cheeses, mixed appetizers, North African and Middle Eastern cuisine. |
