Izway Wines Mates Aglianico Mataro

​

Izway Wines was conceived on a handshake between two Aussie wine makers in a chateau in Beaujolais. Brian Conway and Craig Isbel met during vintage at Chateau de Bluizard in 2002 and after many nights drinking pastis they decided to start their own winery in the Barossa Valley. Craig got to work seeking out half a tonne of Ebenezer Shiraz from a mate, and this fruit was crafted into the first ‘’Bruce’’ in 2003, with just the one barrique made. Izway Wines has evolved slowly and organically from there.
They would like to think their wines are a true expression of the terroir from which they are sourced and all of their winemaking philosophies are based around expressing terroir as truly as possible.

Mates Aglianico Mataro: The 2016 Mates is a 50/50 split of Aglianico and Mataro. With each harvest from our Aglianico vineyard, it shows more similarities to its Italian counterpart. Bright, pure, fresh, raw, grimey and earthy, the 2016 Mates is fast becoming one of our favourite wines to drink. Drinkability and intrigue are what we hope to achieve with this blend, and the 2016 is a great example of this philosophy. Aromas of BBQ Lamb chops and bacon balls, rocky road and freshly laid road, there is density and energy to this light wine. Sweet, strong tannin, zippy acid and juicy texture make it smashable and intriguing... - Winemaker notes
