Summer 2015 was long, hot and dry and put the vines under stress. Only at the end of August did it cool down, with a little rain, and the grapes finished ripening evenly and in good health. Together with 2010, 2015 is one of the best vintages since José Mas started in the Bierzo. Sour and ripe cherry, floral notes and spice on the nose; concentrated yet fresh on the palate, with a fine bitter edge on the finish.
Drinking window 2022 to 2050: open the magnum now or keep it for a long time. We would bring it out for a game dish with eight to ten people at the table; aged cheese and braises work just as well.

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.
