Tasting Notes
Light garnet red color with purple tints. Complex nose with plum, raspberry, and herbal notes evolving towards soft spices. The palate is fruity, rich, and round. Overall, it is smooth and well-balanced from the nose through to the finish.
Cultivation
Soils are clay and limestone with gravel. Some schist soils are also present. Vines range between 11 and 23 years old.
Vinification
Destemming, separated vinification for each variety. Fermentation at 25°C. 8 to 12 days with skin contact for the Carignan and Syrah, 10 to 18 days for the Grenache. We only use the free-run juice and the first press.
Aging
60% of the wine is aged in stainless steel vats and 40% is aged in French and American oak barrels for at least 4 months before being bottled.
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.
