The 2024 Matassa Blanc is the white counterpart to the Olla Rouge and a cornerstone of the Matassa range. Crafted from equal parts Muscat à Petits Grains and Macabeu grown on 40–50-year-old vines at 600 metres on limestone and red clay, this wine combines high-altitude freshness with clear mineral definition. A week of whole-cluster carbonic fermentation in concrete followed by ageing in fibreglass and large old oak yields a hazy gold hue, floral lift and restrained aromatics that avoid the overly perfumed or soapy character sometimes found in Muscat blends.
Bright citrus and subtle spice lead to a textural, easy-drinking profile with energetic acidity and a precise, mineral finish, making the 2024 Matassa Blanc an expressive, terroir-driven natural white.
