Winery Notes (2020 Vintage)
"Mataro is often regarded as the backbone of Barossa winemaking. Usually blended with other varieties such as Shiraz and Grenache, it bestows spice, depth and roundness. The character laden grapes of a particular, dry-grown vineyard inspired the Barossa Boy Young Wisdom Mataro.
Barossa Boy honours the old wisdom of the vines that have outlasted decades of varying weather and varietal fads. We add fresh perspective, highlighting this quiet achiever. Young Wisdom Mataro, created only in exceptional vintages, tells its own unique Barossa story.
Displaying the subtle complexities of the Mataro grape, robust earthy tones with powerful woody cinnamon and nutmeg spice combine with the more common Mataro characters of blueberry and violets. Maturation in French oak adds lifted vanilla and subtle toast. The palate is rich and luscious with bold silky tannins with oodles of blackberry fruit characters. A robust wine with an abundance of power giving it the potential to age well into its teens."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, January 2023 (2020 Vintage)
"Crimson red with a ruby core and purple rim. Fabulous bouquet filled with aromas of sweet ripe black currants and dark plums, there’s vanilla laced milk chocolate from the oak and a sweet almost jam-like quality. Equally delicious on the palate with flavours that mirror the bouquet. No mistaking the warmth of the alcohol with balancing acidity and well-tuned oak flavours for structure and length. Fine tannins and medium+ acid line all well place. A lovely wine with impact and finish. Best drinking from late 2023 through 2029."
