Schwarz Meta Mataro 2017

Another easy drink from the Schwarz Meta line. Handpicked and wild fermented Barossa Mataro with 20% whole bunches.

This is a wine built to please. Purple edged, it’s full of rather ripe and luscious fruit – juicy, plump and blackberried. A lavish wine. I kept waiting for tannins or something to fill out the back palate, but it’s just a fresh and juicy easy drinking red. Good balance, and love the blackberry flow, but compared to the storming Grenache this seems just a tad too easygoing. Best drinking: Now to eight years. 17.5/20, 91/100. 13.8%, $35. Would I buy it? I’d drink it but buy the Grenache.

(I use inklpay in lieu of a paywall. A small tip goes a long way to finally paying for hosting!)

  • About me – Andrew Graham


    At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, doing a degree that I didn't really like, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.

    Almost twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.

    While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
