Winemaker's Notes:

 This wine is a straw-like pale yellow color. On the nose, there are aromas of mixed minerals, soft flowers and ripe tropical fruit – complex, delicate and very elegant, carrying through to the palate. The mouth is concentrated; its potent acidity achieves the perfect balance with intense flavors. It has a strong body with great structure and will gain complexity in the bottle.
My Notes:

About Matetic:

 The story of the Matetic Winery begins in 1999 when the Matetic family decided to diversify their business ventures and enter the world of wine, confident in the virtues of the climate and soils in the Rosario Valley. With a firm conviction in the vital importance of maintaining a strong professional team to guide every step of the project, the family incorporated Alan York (Biodinamic Consultant), Ken Bernards (Consulting Winemaker), and Ann Kraemer (Viticultural Consultant) into the project in 2000 to ensure that Matetic wines achieve the highest quality. The EQ stands for Equilibrium... balance.
