Matassa Brutal Orange 2023

Macabeu

Brutal Orange is Matassa’s bold take on an orange wine — long skin contact and full-hearted extraction give it an amber hue and a vibrant, sun-baked presence. Part of the spirit of experimentation that runs through the estate, it’s both intense and easy to drink.

What makes it special: old-vine Macabeu skewed toward spice, texture and citrus depth.
Tasting mood: peel-twist orange, apricot compote, mineral herb and a cool tannic presence.
Feel: medium weight, animated, and perfect when you want something serious and fun at once.
