Origin

The Mas Olivier overlooks the Faugères appellation first because of its geographical situation and also its reputation. Exposed to the South, on platy mineral layers called « Schiste », it benefits from a Mediterranean climate with cold nights. Harvest at optimal maturity to reveal the best of our ‘100% schsite’ terroir.

Grapes

80% Syrah, 20% Grenache.

Winemaking

A very natural and open wine for immediate pleasure reflecting the great care undertaken: in the vines and throughout to the winemaking process. The grapes are selected with strict control: very healthy berries with high polyphenols concentration . Short fermentation under inert atmosphere, no addition of sulphites and meticulous bottling under nitrogen.

The nose is subtle reminding small red berries: morello cherries and cranberries, followed by peppery hints. A very natural and open wine for immediate pleasure. Smooth and soft on the palate, ready to drink this 2019 reflects great care : in the vines to the winemaking process as well as the aromatic richness of the vintage.
