WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mas Amiel Natural Syrah 2020 is produced from 100% Syrah grapes cultivated using biodynamic and organic farming methods. The vineyards are located on calc-schist soils. Harvests are manual with meticulous double sorting. Vinification is gentle, employing an infusion technique in 50 hl stainless steel vats with native yeasts. The wine undergoes fermentation and aging in concrete vats, with no oenological inputs or sulfur dioxide (SO2) added at any stage. This approach aims to preserve the purity of the grape and the expression of the terroir.
