Mazi ‘Tora’ Mataro Cinsault 2022 by Mazi Wines, McLaren Vale, is a light dry red spun from their rosé program – a pretty yet serious blend that drinks like a super‑charged rosé with red‑fruited charm. This Mazi Tora Mataro Cinsault is swillable, chillable and downright irresistible.

On the nose and palate, Tora 2022 shows red cherry, cranberry and wild strawberry, laced with Asian spice, musk, violet and a whisper of Mediterranean garrigue – think thyme, rosemary and lavender. It’s light‑bodied, dry and finely textured, partially barrel‑fermented and matured in old French oak for five months, giving a tight yet well‑rounded palate with gentle tannin, subtle oak sweetness and a long, savoury, moreish finish.

Food‑wise, it’s best served properly chilled and poured with mezze, charcuterie, grilled halloumi, tomato‑based dishes and Mediterranean salads. It’s also a cracking match with lighter barbecues, roast chicken, wood‑fired pizza and picnic spreads – essentially, any occasion where you want the refreshment of rosé with just a bit more flavour and texture in your glass.
