Description

Alongside Torzi Matthews' excellent range of 'classic' Barossa varieties, they grow a small amount of Italian varieties, inspired by their Italian heritage. This is their extremely tasty rendition of Negro Amaro.

It's a spicy, savoury red with a strong backbone of tannin in support. It's a little different and a lot delicious.

A great example of a seldom seen variety in Australia, and worth every penny for those exploring the plethora of Italian varieties appearing across the country.

92 Points - "Blood plum, cherry, orange peel and almond, pepper and spice. Medium-bodied, savoury and meaty, plenty of spice, gently bitter dark fruit, cold coffee, some sooty tannin, and a zesty peel finish of good length. Excellent. A wine for the table, and great drinking too." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

Charismatic individual.
Made via 20% whole bunch wild yeast ferment in small open top ferments, soft pump overs, basket pressed to barrel to complete ferment. Bottled unfiltered.
A truly charismatic red table wine with high perfumed dark red spiced summer fruits that runs through the palate with blood plum, black spice and licorice blackstrap, the finish generous, fresh and lively with lovely super fine tannins.

Torzi Matthews

Some years back, noted Australian wine writer Philip White called Domenic Torzi 'Australia's Best Bargain Winemaker'. Today, that statement still could not be more accurate.

The wines from Dom Torzi and Tracy Matthews are some of the best buys in the Barossa Valley and the country. Alongside their excellent classic range of old vine Barossa Shiraz and Eden Valley Riesling, they make a small amount of fascinating Italian variety wines, inspired by their Italian heritage.

At every price point, these wines hugely and consistently overdeliver and are simply a must-buy for any lover of honest, delicious Barossan wines.

"You’d have to put Dom Torzi’s Torzi Matthews wines into the ‘some of best value/most consistent wines in the country’ list, right near the shiny top. A touch of magic. An eye on drinkability. Considered vineyard sources. Gentle overlay of winemaking. He gets it. Really gets it." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
