Cool vintage at 13.2% with hardly any oak: Mencía with fresh red fruit and minerality.
Red wine · Mencía · Bierzo, Spain · 0.75 L
Grapes: 98% Mencía, 2% Alicante Bouschet
Vintage: 2021
Production: 6,480 bottles, 1,136 magnums, 120 double magnums, 15 six-litre and 4 twelve-litre bottles
Soils: mainly clay and clay loam, a few plots with rolled gravel and sand
Climate: Mediterranean with continental influences
Vinification: hand-picked over four days, 10 to 13 September, by a team of 15; a short spell in French barriques (10% new), then two years in concrete tanks, bottled in 2024 and kept in bottle for more than a year
Alcohol: 13.2%
After the warm run from 2015 to 2020, 2021 was a cool vintage shaped by the Atlantic. The winter was wet, August dry, and heavy rain fell just before picking. Hence the lower alcohol and the short time in barrel: fresh red fruit and some spice on the nose, integrated tannins, acidity that carries the wine and a mineral finish.
Drinking window 2026 to 2040. If you are new to Massuria, start with this vintage; it shows Mencía without much oak. Pair it with lacón, cecina or a braise.

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.
