Mas Amiel offers a varied and authentic range where each cuvée is a true expression of its unique terroir. Whether you are a lover of powerful, full-bodied reds, elegant and mineral whites, or exceptional natural sweet wines, the diversity of the estate’s cuvées will satisfy all your desires!
At the heart of this richness, the Grenache Noir grape variety plays a central role here and gives rise to wines with multiple profiles: ripe red and black fruits, delicate spicy notes, and even hints of cocoa and roasting depending on the vintage and terroir.Mas Amiel wines generally all benefit from excellent aging potential, and their evolution in the bottle reveals an ever richer and more nuanced aromatic complexity over time.
Although best known for its iconic fortified sweet wines, Mas Amiel also offers high-quality dry red wines. Among the flagship cuvées, for example, are Oiseau Rare, Légende, and Vers le Nord.
The estate also produces elegant and fresh white wines, often made from white and grey Grenache, offering beautiful minerality and fruity aromas, such as Altaïr and Natural blanc.
Nevertheless, as mentioned, it is indeed the natural sweet wines (VDN) that have built the estate’s reputation and convey its history. In fact, these wines represent a true signature of Roussillon, combining richness, elegance, and complexity. Mainly made from Grenache Noir, these wines are produced using a traditional mutage method, which involves stopping fermentation by adding wine alcohol in order to preserve a natural sweetness while maintaining freshness and aromatic intensity.
This style gives the wines a beautiful roundness on the palate, with powerful aromas of candied fruit, sweet spices, honey, and sometimes roasted or chocolate notes, evolving towards an increasingly refined aromatic palette with age.The structure of these natural sweet wines is balanced by a lively acidity that brings tension and lightness, avoiding any heaviness despite their richness. Their silky texture and remarkable length make them perfect companions for desserts, matured cheeses, or simply for contemplative tasting.
The unique terroir of the estate, with its varied soils, adds a mineral dimension and additional complexity, revealing all the typical character and prestige of Roussillon’s natural sweet wines.
Don’t hesitate to try the wines from Mas Amiel, guaranteed pleasure!
