Shiraz Mataro

The Shiraz Mataro blend is a classic combination that brings together the rich, fruit-driven intensity of Shiraz with the earthy depth and savoury complexity of Mataro (also known as Mourvèdre). In Australia, this blend is particularly popular in regions like the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale, where both varieties thrive in warm climates.

Shiraz contributes bold dark fruit flavours, spice, and a plush texture, while Mataro adds structure, firm tannins, and notes of blackberries, dried herbs, and subtle gamey undertones. The result is a well-balanced wine with depth, power, and excellent ageing potential, making it a favourite among those who enjoy robust, full-bodied reds with a savoury edge.
