Paul Mas Reserve Carignan

Carignan showcases an intense deep purple colour with ruby hues, exuding aromas of spices, blackberries, cocoa, and hints of undergrowth that evolve into toasted notes with aeration. On the palate, it is powerful yet mellow, with silky tannins and a harmonious balance of floral, fruity, and spicy flavors, finishing with persistent notes of liquorice.

Jean Claude Mas

The winemaking process begins with a cold pre-fermentation at 10°C, followed by fermentation at 27°C on the first day and 24°C for the next four days. A seven-day maceration at 24°C with daily pumping ensures optimal extraction. After gentle pressing in a pneumatic press, the first presses are combined. Prior to malolactic fermentation, 50% of the wine is transferred to 225-liter oak barrels. The wine then ages for six months in American barrels, with 20% being new oak. In May, the wine is filtered and bottled, ready to showcase its refined character.
