In the glass and in the cellar

Grape: 100% Mencía

Vintage: 2007

Production: 9,000 bottles

Soils: acidic Quaternary soils with alluvial terraces and colluvium; about two thirds of the plots on gravel, one third on clay loam

Climate: Mediterranean with continental influences

Vinification: picked early by hand, 12 months in French barriques from Remond (10% new, the rest used one to three times) and in stainless steel

Alcohol: 13.2%

2007 was a warm year in the Bierzo and the harvest came very early. When young the wine was deeply coloured and floral; almost twenty years on it smells of leather, green tobacco and macerated dark fruit. The palate starts soft, stays fresh and ends on a slight bitterness.

This is the oldest Massuria we stock, and it is open now. We would not hold it much longer, even though a well-kept bottle will last for years. Serve it with game, a braise or an aged cheese.

Mas Asturias

The winery

Mas Asturias

José Mas makes exactly one wine, Massuria, from Mencía vines planted between 1912 and 1970. He worked for the Moueix family of Pétrus and is giving himself another 20 years to make it perfect.

Still unsure?

Why does José Mas make only one wine at Mas Asturias?

Because he has set himself a goal: the Massuria is to become the reference wine of the Bierzo and of Mencía. So he puts everything into this one grape and this one wine, and quality comes before quantity. José is giving himself another 20 years to make it perfect. In our shop you will find the Massuria in vintages from 2007 to 2021, some in magnum.
