Crafted from carefully selected vineyard parcels, this wine highlights John Duval’s focus on structure, balance and site expression, offering a more earthy and savoury alternative to traditional Shiraz-led styles. The nose is intense and layered, revealing dark plum, blackberry and mulberry, intertwined with notes of dried herbs, leather, spice and earthy undertones. Subtle hints of game, black pepper and oak spice add further depth and intrigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"1078\"\u003eOn the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a firm, structured profile and fine yet assertive tannins. Rich dark fruit flavours are balanced by savoury, rustic elements, with touches of cocoa, spice and a slightly meaty character typical of the varietal. Fresh acidity provides lift and focus, leading to a long, dry and persistent finish. The style is bold, savoury and complex, appealing to those who appreciate more structured and food-driven wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1080\" data-end=\"1483\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for customers looking to explore beyond Shiraz into more traditional Rhône varieties with a Barossa twist. It’s ideal for those who enjoy savoury, structured reds with depth and ageing potential. Best decanted if drinking young, or cellar for 8–12 years. Perfect with slow-cooked meats, lamb shanks, game dishes or rich, hearty cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eInfo\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"846\" style=\"height: 152px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 280.969px;\"\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 263.031px;\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 280.969px;\"\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 263.031px;\"\u003eJohn Duval\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 280.969px;\"\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 263.031px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMataro\/ Mourvedre\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 280.969px;\"\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 263.031px;\"\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 280.969px;\"\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 263.031px;\"\u003e2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 280.969px;\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 263.031px;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"John Duval","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51175894450491,"sku":"DUVMAT226","price":63.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2022JohnDuvalAnnexusMataro.jpg?v=1776303613","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2022-john-duval-annexus-mataro","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
