Dark red in colour with black shaded edges and a dark red hue. Spicy red plum and red liquorice aromas mix with dried herb and light earth notes. Light and spicy the palate features savoury red fruits over dried herbs and earth. Dryish finish with fine grained tannins and bright acidity. Elegant medium length aftertaste.

Highly Rated - Stuart Knox The Real Review

Bright cherry-red colour. A nose of lantana flowers and just-crushed raspberries. Juicy and crunchy red-berry fruits, hints of wildflowers underneath. Angular acidity and tannins make it a little clunky but there's a freshness that appeals

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.
