2016 and 2018 were both very sunny years in the Bierzo; the grapes ripened fully and both wines are fruity with a fresh finish. What sets them apart is minerality. The 2016 shows more slate, with cherry, raspberry, redcurrant, white pepper and Mediterranean herbs. Juicy and spicy on the palate, with supple tannins.
Of our magnums, this is the one for people who value minerality over fruit in a Mencía. It will keep improving. Serve it with game, lamb 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.
