Tasting Notes
Bright lemon color. Complex and fresh with aromas of grapefruit, gooseberry and herbaceous notes and a hint of smokiness. Fruit and lively with great balance and persistence.
Cultivation
Clay-limestone, deep, cool soils. The vines are 11-23 years old and the vineyards are managed with total respect to the environment.
Vinification
Grapes are destemmed and undergo a cool maceration without skin contact. Pneumatic pressing of only free run juice is used. The wine is racked for clarification, followed by a cool fermentation for 18 days. During this process the wine is protected from oxygen contact with the use of nitrogen gas. The wine rests for two months on its lees in stainless steel vats for added complexity.
Aging
Aged in stainless steel for six months.
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.
