From The Producers:
DEGUSTATION
Highly energetic, this wine’s radiance and impulsive red berry and rose petal aromas are instantly appealing.
Ample and fresh on the palate, its flavors are also tasty and fruity, underscored by vibrant minerality, brought about by the schist-laden soils – the preferred terroir of great Grenache wines.
PERSONALITY
At once dashing and approachable, VERTIGO is MAS AMIEL’s youngest wine. It serves as an introduction before discovering the estate’s more complex and dense reds. It is made out of a blend of chiefly Grenache noir, combined with Syrah and Carignan, in view of obtaining distinct freshness. VERTIGO always expresses youthful energy in an upfront and precise way.
HARVEST AND WINEMAKING
The harvest is 100% handpicked in 20-kg crates. The grapes are entirely de-stemmed.
The parcels are made into wine, terroir by terroir, to highlight the specificity of each spot. The wine is made in 84-hl concrete vats with daily pumping over.
