Bottle: magnum, 1.5 litres

Aspect: south-west
Climate: Mediterranean with continental influences
Vinification: hand-picked from early September, cold maceration, fermented in stainless steel, 15 months in French barriques (60% new, 40% second and third fill), then 6 months in steel and 2 years in bottle
Alcohol: 13.5%
2017 was the frost year: the estate picked only a fifth of a normal crop, and harvest started as early as the beginning of September. The result is a light Massuria with fine, delicate tannins and fresh acidity. Blackberry and black cherry, black pepper, violet and a hint of graphite on the nose, herbs on the finish.
Because it is lighter than our other magnums, we would not pair it with a rich game stew. Roast veal, chicken with mushrooms or a cheese that is not too old suit it better.

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.
