Description

Tom Lubbe has been carving out a path of wild, high-energy wines in the rugged hills of Calce in Roussillon for years, and the Olla Rouge is the ultimate entry point to his world.

The 2024 is a bright, crunchy red blend of 60% Grenache Noir, 20% Grenache Gris and 20% Macabeu, capturing the schist soils of the region without the heavy, boozy weight you might expect from Southern France. Instead, there’s a lovely tension and a sense of life that Matassa is renowned for.

Expect a glass full of wild strawberries, mountain herbs, and a savoury, stony edge. It’s a loose-knit, natural feeling style for sure, but with plenty of delicious red fruit and drinkability. Built for big tables and loves a chill!

Tom's classic chilled red is a blend of 60% Grenache Noir, 20% Grenache Gris and 20% Macabeu. From old vines grown on a clay-limestone terroir, with red soils rich in iron. co-fermentation of red, gris and white grapes in whole clusters for 2 weeks in cement vats, with indigenous yeasts, then matured for five months in vats, without filtering.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
