Domaine Matassa 2023 Macabeu White Wine
Discover a taste of Languedoc-Roussillon’s terroir with Domaine Matassa’s 2023 Macabeu—a vibrant expression of tradition and sustainability crafted from century-old vines rooted in schistous soils. This biodynamic white wine embodies the region’s rich winemaking heritage through meticulous attention to detail and natural processes.

Handpicked grapes from vines over 70 years old are gently whole-cluster macerated for three weeks before being pressed into demi-muid barrels for spontaneous fermentation—a method that preserves pure fruit character while adding depth and texture. The extended maceration enhances complexity without overpowering freshness, resulting in a wine that balances crisp acidity with layered mineral notes from its schist-rich environment.

Bottled unfined and unfiltered with no added sulfur dioxide, this wine offers an authentic drinking experience prized by natural wine enthusiasts. Its low 10% alcohol content makes it an ideal choice for those seeking flavorful yet approachable whites that don’t compromise on elegance.

Domaine Matassa’s commitment to biodynamic practices ensures harmony between vineyard and environment, creating a wine that reflects its unique terroir while respecting ecological values. Whether enjoyed alongside light seafood dishes or sipped solo as an introduction to natural whites, this Macabeu stands out for its purity and nuanced profile—a testament to old-vine quality and artisanal craftsmanship.

Perfect for adventurous palates or collectors of sustainable wines from southern France, this 2023 vintage captures Languedoc’s essence through minimal intervention winemaking.
