Rating: 4.0/5
The Mativoc by Cantele presents itself with a clear, deep ruby colour. On the nose, aromas of blackberry and blackcurrant are prominent, with nuanced secondary notes of toasted vanilla and cream. The palate delivers a medium plus body with low tannins and acidity, medium plus alcohol and a velvety feel. Flavours of red currant, raspberry, and blueberry are balanced by undertones of toast and bread, while the finish is medium in length.
