Les Vignerons de Maury,
Ready, but will keep,
Vin Doux Naturel, from the likes of Maury and Rivesaltes, remain massively undervalued. This wine is drawn from cask 849 from this producer's remarkably old solera, a barrel singled out for its complexity and balance. Coff ee, orange peel and notes of hazelnuts dominate the palate, along with avours of salted caramel and ginger. It has an attractive volatile lift on the nish with a silky and generous sweetness that is balanced by refreshing acidity.

Since 1928, the solera in question has been regularly refreshed with the wine of both red and white Grenache grapes, which tend to be picked only after they’ve shriveled beneath Maury’s unforgiving sun.
Solera is a neat term for the many vessels found in the sweltering eaves of the co-operative’s premises.
