Rufo blanc VdF 2024

Wine description for Rufo blanc VdF 2024 by Matassa

Colour & Appearance

Deep, slightly hazy amber – the unfiltered philosophy of Matassa is evident to the naked eye. Not a flaw, but a statement of intent.

Nose

Primal, wild and brimming with infectious energy. After a moment of air, the wine opens to an aromatic tableau of wild herbs, crisp apple, fresh citrus zest and a hint of ripe mango. The decanter is not a luxury, but an invitation – it transforms a reserved character into a talkative table companion.

Palate

Light-footed yet with substance: the Rufo blanc surprises with vibrant freshness, a fine grip and an invigorating tension that stimulates the palate and simply demands more. At merely 10.5% alcohol, this comes as no surprise – here you can pour another glass without a guilty conscience.

Finish

Clean, refreshing and pleasantly persistent. The finish is herbal-spicy and keeps curiosity alive – a wine that doesn’t satisfy, but awakens appetite.

Terroir & Origin

Matassa is one of the most uncompromising addresses in Roussillon – one of France’s wildest and sunniest wine regions. Tom Lubbe, the driving force behind Matassa, works according to biodynamic principles and allows his wines maximum freedom of expression.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Macabeu – a grape variety native to Catalonia and Roussillon that unjustly languishes in the shadow of more popular varieties. Spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts, unfiltered and unrefined. A true natural wine without compromise, but also without faults.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Ideal with oysters and seafood, Provençal herb dishes, light fish ceviche or simply with a good piece of Manchego. The Rufo is a wine for the table – and for conversation.

Special Features

A wine that proves that naturalness and drinking pleasure are not contradictory. The Rufo blanc 2024 is pure Roussillon – raw, honest and seductive all at once.
