Coume del Mas
Fortified WineCoume del Mas 'Tradition' Banyuls AOP
Coume del Mas 'Tradition' Banyuls AOP is a classic fortified wine that exemplifies the unique terroir of Roussillon’s sun-drenched terraces. Nestled between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, the vineyards of Coume del Mas benefit from steep, schist-rich soils and abundant sunlight, creating the perfect conditions for Grenache Noir to thrive.
This traditional Banyuls is crafted from exceptionally ripe Grenache Noir, harvested by hand to ensure only the finest fruit is selected. The wine undergoes mutage (fortification with grape spirit) and extended oxidative aging in a mix of barrels and demi-johns under the warm Catalan sun. This process imbues it with remarkable complexity and depth.
Bursting with aromas of dried figs, raisins, and candied orange peel, the wine opens up on the palate with layers of rich dark chocolate, toasted nuts, and a touch of warm spice. A luscious sweetness is perfectly balanced by its natural acidity, leading to a long, velvety finish.
