Style: Fresh & DetailedMas Amiel is internationally known for its naturally sweet wines and oxidative wines. Decelle also produces some stunning dry wines that stem from a terroir of calcium shale, gneiss, and mica-schists soils, which allows these southern-accented wines to maintain a great freshness. He even pioneered the adaption of the appellation Maury to include dry wines, which has been important for young winemakers in the region who have gravitated towards this style. This unique estate sprawls across 220 hectares with 170 hectares under vine. It is located close to the village of Maury in Roussillon, with the Corbières range to the north and the steep foothills of the Pyrénées to the south. Mas Amiel Blanc is elaborated from a selection of young parcels, situated on schist-laden slopes, facing Southwest in the locality of Mas de las Fredes. The area’s light soils are quite similar to limestone schist sand, thereby offering good drainage. Moreover, deep clay provides the vines with plenty of water. This mix of limestone schist and deep clay is a key element to the location, as it eliminates the problems brought about by drought during the summertime. Tilling is the only technique used to manage the soils. The plots produce an average yield of 25 hl/ha from a 5 to 20- year old vineyard, representing a plantation density of 4,000 vines/ha.Produced from traditional local varieties - essentially Grenache Blanc blended with Maccabeu, Roussanne and Marsanne .
