In 2008 the vines flowered very late and August was the coolest since 1977. The grapes ripened slowly, yields were small and every plot developed at the same pace. The result is classic in style: clear ruby, a reserved nose that opens to black fruit, cherry and a balsamic touch, then liquorice, stone fruit and a hint of bitter almond on the finish.
The drinking window runs to 2040, so there is no hurry. Since it needs air to open, we would decant it an hour ahead and serve it with game, braised meat or an aged cheese.

The winery
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.

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.
