Domaine Matassa Blanc Côtes Catalanes

Roussillon, France
A remarkable white from old-vine Grenache Gris and Macabeo grown on white granite and gneiss soils in Calce. Golden, textured, and aromatic with dried orange peel, white stone fruit, fennel seed, sea salt, and a distinctive saline-mineral finish that speaks of its coastal proximity and ancient granite soils. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in old barrels, this is Roussillon white wine at its most original and compelling.
complement
The wine's fennel and saline character mirrors both the sea bass and the fennel garnish. Pastis amplifies the anise connection while lemon echoes its citrus brightness.

complement
Catalan white with Catalan ingredients — the wine's saline mineral quality lifts the marinated anchovies, capers echo its briny edge, and tomato bridges to its bright acidity.
classic starter
complement
The wine's salinity and dried citrus peel notes bridge perfectly to salt cod. Roasted peppers add sweetness while herbs echo its Mediterranean aromatic complexity.

complement
The wine's dried fruit and saline character pairs beautifully with aged sheep's milk cheese. Quince echoes its stone fruit while almonds bridge to its textured, slightly oxidative complexity.
