A humid and rainy winter and spring, slowing down the vegetation. Flowering from 6TH June. Dry summer with moderate heat. Perfect for the vine, slow and long ripening, the grapes took their time to ripen, giving high quality fruits.
Harvest: beautiful hot and dry weather, late hand picking due to late ripening.
Skin maceration for 5 to 7 days Fermentation in stainless steel tank.
The first impressions of this vintage look like being confirmed: the acidity levels are ideal to enhance perfectly balanced fruitiness, long length.
The two lives of Mas de Daumas Gassac White Wine
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.
First life
To taste within the first three years if you appreciate wonderful fruity flavours.
Drink our white wines as an aperitif or with a meal. They drink beautifully with most dishes.
Second life
Quite a different wine from the third or fourth year! Its youthful fruitiness will have disappeared, to be replaced by new flavours reminiscent of “sherry” or old “Sauternes”, a touch “oxidative” with great finesse.
Take care: if you are not looking for this type of wine, slightly paradoxical as it ages, drink our white wines within the first couple of years.
Tasting hints
– Serve around 10-12°C (51°F). Do not over chill.
– Open the bottle an hour before serving, but always replace the cork. Decanting encourages wines to express their full complexity but, always replace the stopper.
