Vegan friendly wine

Winemaking: Organic Gamay grapes were hand harvested and de-stemmed. Macerated for one month. Fermentation with indigenous yeast. Aged in amphora vessels. Bottled with no fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine: Natural red wine with a light to medium body. Delicate but complex with concentrated minerals and bright, floral fruit. This comes from Jaufré's oldest vines that are up to 120 years old. Tasting beautiful now but will keep getting better. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Jaufré Mas works for famous winemaker Patrick Boujou by day but makes his own wines on the side. These are produced from just 1 hectare of Gamay d'Auvergne vines spread across 3 plots. Every cuvée shows so much energy and life and they are wines that also have great ageing potential.
