Tasting Notes
The nose on this golden yellow wine is very pleasing with notes of pineapple, hazelnuts, lime, and quince. Vanilla and bread notes are also present. The palate is rich and mellow with a nice crisp acidity. This wine has a long lasting and pleasing finish that ends on a pineapple note.
Cultivation
Organic viticulture. The vineyards are planted on limestone and gravel soils in a Mediterranean climate.
Vinification
Destemming, no skin contact, racking at 10°C. The wine ferments for 4 weeks with selected yeast: 80% in stainless steel vats and 20% in American oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation takes place with 15% of the cuvée.
Aging
The wine is aged for 3 months on its lees. Then, the final blending is made between the wine aged in stainless steel and in barrels.
Paul Mas wines are the result of a symbiotic relationship between an extraordinary region for producing wines, passion for the vineyard, respect for the grapes during vinification, and great blending and aging knowledge.
Paul Mas 1892 wine is a tribute to Raymond Mas, Jean-Claude’s grandfather. It commemorates his way of farming the vineyard, without using any chemical products, as well as his traditional way of making wine, respecting the fruit of the vineyard. His hard work and appreciation of the artful techniques enabled him to create his wines.
