Our relationships with local grape growing families provide privileged access to many exceptional old Mataro vineyards from which we produce wine for our Plexus Red blend. Encouraged by the response to our initial bottlings of small parcels of Grenache under the Annexus label, we extended the idea of presenting the best of the varietal components of Plexus in a single vineyard, varietal Mataro.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 2022 vintage was set up beautifully with good soil moisture carrying over from the mild 2021 vintage. A significant October hail event reduced yields in some vineyards, but luckily most escaped without impacting quality. La Nina influenced weather patterns resulted in mild harvest conditions again, allowing for even flavour accumulation and vibrant aromatics and acidity. A standout season.  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eNOSE: Deep dark fruits, pepper, dried herbs and smoky earth.  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePALATE: Layers of black plum, dark chocolate and plush blue fruits.
