It is a mixture of various sensations. This is a strange aromatic trip, between hot steel, beeswax and spices. Walnut, fig and date aromas mix with brown tobacco. The finish is very long with notes of bitter oranges. This is a great Maury wine expressing heaps of rustic freshness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood Pairing:\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003eAged for a period of 40 years, this \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003erustic fresh wine pairs well with Pata Negra ham, blue veined cheese like Roquefort, or on its own for the pleasure of its taste.\u003cbr\u003eOpen an hour before serving at 15°C.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Domain:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMas Amiel is located in the heart of the Maury PDO, in the heart of the Côtes du Roussillon Village PDO in the Pyrénées Orientales. It draws all the strength of its wines from the schist territory found on the 150 hectares of the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1815, Mas Amiel is a true historical heritage that presents an incredible diversity of terroirs and landscapes. Each of the 130 plots has its own identity, with a unique combination of exposure and altitude, soil type (schist, calcoschist, gneiss...) and specific grape varieties (Carignan, Grenache, Lladoner Pelut).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1999, the estate was discovered by Olivier Decelle, and it was love at first sight. This winemaker set himself the challenge of giving Mas Amiel an international stature, while at the same time developing its spearheads, the natural sweet wines and a range of dry wines, which bear witness to the incredible potential that the estate has to offer different wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe meticulous work carried out on each parcel according to its specificities allows the creation of a very rich collection of sweet and dry wines, whose parcel-based or blended cuvées delight the greatest connoisseurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMas Amiel obtained the BIO label in 2017, when the 150 hectares of the vineyard were converted to organic farming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo more chemicals are used in the vineyard, and Mas Amiel is continuing its momentum and starting its official conversion to biodynamics, obtaining certification in 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason for choosing biodynamic viticulture on the estate is because of what this virtuous practice does for the health of the soil and plants, and what it does for the grapes, to make them perfectly healthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMas Amiel believes that only this practice can preserve the full potential of its territory in each of its wines, due to a deep understanding of the laws of life. How is this possible? Biodynamics favours the proper vegetative cycle of the vines, thanks to the dynamised preparations produced on the property, which are diffused on the soil or on the vines, according to the lunar and planetary rhythms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elite Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43634410815745,"sku":"119698","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/files\/mas-40--1_835bb29b-0103-4887-b69d-a3e5018a9816.png?v=1765757790","url":"https:\/\/arrowine.com\/products\/mas-amiel-40-ans-dage","provider":"Arrowine \u0026 Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
