About the Winery

The fruit for the Paul Mas La Forge Estate Viognier were sourced from 15-20 year old vines, located east of Carcassonne in the Languedoc Wine Region, Southern France. The fruit was then quickly transported to Domaine Paul Mas in Pezenas, where the parcels of fruit were destemmed, macerated and fermented over a 4 week period, prior to 3 month malolactic fermentation in oak barrels and stainless steel. The fruit was then blended and bottled.
