The vineyards sit high on schist and limestone, and the house style is pale reds and dark whites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCuvee Marguerite is the one everybody asks for: Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains, Macabeu and Muscat of Alexandria, the grape Italy calls Zibibbo. A short stretch on the skins gives it colour and a little grip without turning it into a tannic exercise, and at 10.5% it drinks like something you can actually finish. The magnum simply gives you more of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have not yet tried this vintage, but this wine usually has notes of candied orange peel, lychee and chamomile, with honey, almond and soft pineapple behind them and a tea-like dryness on the close. Hugely aromatic yet delicate with it. Serve it cold, but let it warm up for the second glass and see the evolution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Video Interview with Tom Lubbe of Matassa\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DgY4P_rwfIo?si=kXVu2NlB9K8NbD4u\" title=\"YouTube video player\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MORE Natural Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66004802732300,"sku":"MORE-5734-SKU","price":64.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0221\/6407\/8692\/products\/Matassa---Cuvee-Marguerite-magnum.png?v=1649490163","url":"https:\/\/morenaturalwine.co.uk\/products\/matassa-cuvee-marguerite-2024-magnum","provider":"MORE Natural Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
