Tasting Notes
Intense and full bodied red berries, red pepper and tobacco notes with cocoa and spicy vanilla. A ripe, full-bodied wine.
Cultivation
Vines grow on clay and limestone soils with gravel.
Vinification
The grapes are destemmed and undergo a cool maceration for ten days with daily pump overs at the beginning of the maceration. The wine is very softly pressed with a pneumatic press and the first pressings are re-blended with the free run wine. Malolactic fermentation occurs in 225 liter oak barrels.
Aging
The wine is aged for six months in oak.
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.
