Details
Domaine de Majas Rouge Cotes Catalanes, organic wine, Carignan, Grenache, fresh and lively southern red. The red Majas, a Carignan/Grenache blend from 20-120 year old vines is a delightful surprise. Limpid red this shiny wine has lifted aromas of ripe blueberry and red cherries as well as supporting notes of herbs and crushed stones. The fruit carries on all the way supported by pleasing acidity, minerals and a lovely raw, natural crunch.
The vines from Domaine de Majas are located in the Fenouillèdes area between 350-400 metres above sea level, on clay limestone and schist soils. The estate is run by Agnes and Alain Carrere, who aim for as little intervention as possible, influenced by their time spent with Tom Lubbe (of Domaine Matassa). The wines are grown organically (certified since 2001), fermented with native yeasts in cement vats and bottled without filtration or fining, resulting in freshness of fruit and lively minerality. Sulphites are kept to a minimum. Their wines are characterful, approachable and great value.

If you expect this wine to be bold, round, and powerful as many other Côtes Catalanes wines, you will be very surprised. This is light natural wine - funky, even fizzy, and very acidic and bright. This is definitely a good for a hot summer day.
