The Mazet is our
traditional red made from classic local grape types. It has a deep
red colour with an intense minerally nose with red fruit notes.
On the palate it is round, medium to full-bodied with again, red
fruit flavours of blackcurrant and raspberries. The finish is long
with hints of spice. |
Wine Making
The grapes are picked manually and are
de-stemmed straight away. The lightly crushed grapes then undergo
a period of cold maceration of around 2/3 days before the fermentation
starts. Following the end of fermentation the wine undergoes
a further period of cold maceration on the skins in order to
extract the fine aromas and flavours. After racking the wine
is transferred to a combination of stainless steel vats and
old oak foudres for the ageing process of around 12 months. |

Deep crimson red
colour, the wine has a complex spicy nose with hints of game and
truffle. There is a strong attack on the palate, powerful rich
notes of ripe cherries and blackberries underlined by a powerful
structure of alcohol and ripe tannins. The finish is long and full.
This wine will further age three to six years. |
Wine Making
Specially selected, hand harvested grapes
are de-stemmed at the winery and then cold-macerated for a
period of about 3/4 days. The temperature controlled fermentation
starts naturally and a further period of maceration takes place
after the fermentation. After racking the wine is aged for
about one year in mixture of oak barrels and old oak foudres. |
