Totem, 2025

Darker and firmer than the rest of the range, with soft, dusty tannins and the same fresh lift.

Totem is the biggest wine Laurent Roger and Melissa Ingrand make at Mataburro, and still not a heavy one. Old-vine Grenache Noir and Mourvèdre, the Mourvèdre grown on black marl, are macerated in steel tanks and Catalan clay amphorae, with some old barrels, to draw more colour and structure. It opens on fruit, gathers complexity, and finishes on soft, dusty tannins. Organic farming with no tilling, native yeasts, nothing fined or filtered out and no sulphur added.
