Tasting Notes
This wine has a deep ruby color and intense nose. Aromas of ripe black fruits, herbs, a touch of spice, and oak flood the olfactory receptors. It has a well-balanced palate with soft, ripe tannins, black and red fruits, and warm spices.
Cultivation
The soils are clay and limestone with fossilized seashell rocks. The climate is Mediterranean with oceanic influences at 80-110m above sea level. Vine age ranges from 29 to 50+ years.
Vinification
Destemmed, separate vinification for each grape variety. The fermentation lasts between 4 and 7 days at 79°F maximum in stainless steel vats and new epoxy lined cement vats. Alcoholic fermentation is followed with a traditional week long maceration. 40% of the blend has done its malolactic fermentation in oak barrels.
Aging
The wine is aged for 12 months 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.
