Matar Stratus 2023

Description

The 2023 Matar Stratus is a bold yet polished Shiraz from Israel’s Galilee region, offering layered aromas of blackberry, ripe plum, cocoa, cracked pepper, and warm baking spice. On the palate, it delivers rich dark fruit framed by velvety tannins and subtle oak influence from its 14 months of barrel aging, creating a wine that feels both powerful and refined. Hints of espresso, smoke, and earthy herbs add depth through the long, smooth finish, making this an expressive, food-friendly red with impressive balance and character.
