Tasting notes
Vibrant and refined red wine, bursting with aromas of ripe strawberry, raspberry, wild cherry, and dried rose petals. On the palate, it is juicy and fresh with silky texture, fine powdery tannins, and a mineral-driven structure. Notes of red berries, garrigue herbs, and subtle spice unfold across a long, saline finish. Elegant and expressive, it balances fruit richness with precision and energy - capturing the essence of its schist-rich Maury terroir.

More About The Winery
Founded in 1816, Mas Amiel is the benchmark estate of the Maury appellation in the Roussillon, southern France. With more than 200 hectares of vineyards planted on schist soils under the warm Mediterranean sun, Mas Amiel has built a reputation for producing both exceptional fortified wines and increasingly acclaimed dry reds and whites.
Originally famous for its vin doux naturel (fortified sweet wines), Mas Amiel has mastered the art of ageing Grenache-based cuvées in glass demijohns under the sun before transferring them to large oak casks, a method that creates wines of depth, complexity, and elegance. Alongside these classics, the estate now produces a remarkable range of dry wines that highlight the freshness, minerality, and terroir expression of Roussillon.
Under modern stewardship, Mas Amiel has embraced organic and biodynamic viticulture, ensuring that every bottle reflects the estate’s commitment to sustainability and authenticity.
For wine lovers in Singapore, Mas Amiel offers a unique opportunity to discover the soul of Roussillon — from legendary fortified reds to innovative dry wines, all crafted with passion and respect for tradition.
