Tasting notes
Oiseau Rare, the emblematic wine of MAS AMIEL, is a pure, precise, and dynamic expression of old-vine Grenache. It opens with fresh, juicy aromas of grape, quickly followed by a vibrant medley of strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries. The bouquet is intensely fragrant, layered with dried rose petals, wild cherries, and rockrose, before evolving into a more sappy, aniseed, and mentholated dimension. On the palate, the wine is creamy and mouth-watering, with finely grained tannins and a texture that is both elegant and energetic. A distinct mineral backbone reflects the rocky terroir, adding depth and complexity. Oiseau Rare is a true reflection of MAS AMIEL’s identity and style, capturing the soul of its heritage Grenache vines with remarkable clarity and charm.

'Aromas of dark plums, racy wild blueberries, strawberries with dried herbs and cured meat. It’s medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins. Elegant and transparent, yet full of characters with mineral, raspberries and cherries on the palate. Vibrant finish accentuated by clarity and purity. From biodynamic and organic grapes. Delicious now, why wait?'
