Harvest: beautiful hot and dry weather, late hand picking due to late ripening.
Classic Medoc vinification – long fermentation and maceration (20 days at least) in stainless steel tank – no filtration
The 2013 harvest at Daumas Gassac started on Monday 16 September, the latest for 20 years !
Our team of 36 grape pickers came from over 10 countries for a three-stage harvest: ROSE FRIZANT 2013 from September 16 to 18, BLANC 2013 from September 19 to 23 and ROUGE 2013 from September 23 to October 4.
The five lives of Mas de Daumas Gassac Red Wines Laid down in a cool cellar (14°-16°C, 57-60°F) even the oldest can happily wait with no problem for many years. However, being laid down in warmer temperatures will speed up the wines’ maturity.
Period of fruit
From the first autumn after bottling. A true basket of fruit, hints of what’s to come.
Period of youth
Crisp fruit and tannins to the fore. Lasts from three to seven years. A delicious and invigorating wine to drink. An absolute must.
Period of maturity
Velvety tannins appear, the fruit fades. This period lasts for seven to fourteen years. The wine reveals its true complexity.
Period of plenitude
Between fourteen and twenty-one years. The fruity flavours fade giving way to tertiary aromas with hints of dried roses, woodland moss, truffles, game!
Period of dreams
Over twenty-one years, most Mas de Daumas Gassac vintages will continue to evolve into magical flavours if laid down in a cool cellar with the right humidity. A treasure for grandchildren to discover in grandad’s cellar!
