50Cl: Maury, Solera 1928 Cask No. 750, - - Les Vignerons de Maury
Ref: A0626
Vin Doux Naturel

rich, sticky, deep mahogany wines that are what the area has traditionally produced, very sweet, long-aged vins doux naturels from variously-coloured Grenache grapes sun-shrivelled on the bushvines struggling for survival on the arid schists around Maury. That schist gives them great firmness and the long ageing in old casks results in appetising rancio flavours, the decongestant tang that comes from long, hot oak ageing. Alcohol has generally been added at some point to stop fermentation so that alcohol levels are usually around 16 per cent. These are wines to sip at the end of a meal with cheese or chocolate rather than being suitable to drink in quantity. They last well in an opened bottle.

A fortified wine, aged in a sherry like way using a solera, which in this case was started in 1928, meaning that each bottle should have some of the wine created in that year. A lovely sweet cooked dried fruit nose, and a sweet complex and rich palate.

Made predominantly from Grenache Noir.
