Tasting Notes
Intense and full-bodied, this wine produces great notes of leather, tobacco, spice, and blackcurrant on the nose and palate. It has complex dark fruit flavors, a subtle earthy tone, and opens up nicely.
Cultivation
Located on the hillsides of the Hérault overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, mature vines - some over 50 years old.
Vinification
Cold maceration first, then fermentation lasts for about 14 days at 18-23°C with daily pump overs. After fermentation, the wine is very softly pressed and re-blended. 50% of the wine is put in 225 litre oak barrels for malolactic fermentation.
Aging
The wine is aged for 6 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.
