Grenache from Catalonia from winemaker Richard Case who makes Dave Phinney’s D66 project out of Maury. The donkey is the symbol of Catalonia thus the label. Beautiful red color and fresh on the palate upon opening. Starts to be a touch oxidative on the second day but still possessing great fruit. Have loved the other wine from Pertuisane and this is also a great example of Grenache from this region. — 6 years ago

Fragile - I don't believe it’s pronounced frah-ghee-lay - has a big, bright nose full of big, bright red fruit. A bit of heat pokes its head through, too, owing to the 15% alcohol content. That cherry-red fruit comes through on the palate as well, with a boatload of acidity to boot. The winery notes say Fragile pairs well with lighter fare and warm, sunny days. I'd have it with pork chops in a heartbeat. — 7 years ago

At its best, I’ve always found Grenache has the ability to achieve an elegance and purity matched by few other Mediterranean grapes. This Maury Sec accomplishes just that - a wine with a cooling berry flavor of length and transparency. Heady, with subtle blue notes and a piney, fresh garden herbaceousness - it captivates with its tranquil breadth and high-toned finish. 80% Grenache, 20% Carignan. — 8 years ago

Oxidised wine. Spends one year in demijohns in the sun, and then goes to large old oak casks.

Nose: not as smoky as the previous one, more fruity and subtle. More complexity here, figs, peppemint.

Palate: Very gentle and smooth tannins, sweeter than the previous one, very good acidity, good balance of all components, much more complex, bit more sugary, cane sugar

Nose: rich flavours: red pepper, violets. Great freshness. Red and black fruit (black and red berries), bit of garigue, juniper, time.

Palate: silky and smoothy, although still young style. Good lightness and acidity, red fruit – elegance and finesse of an higher altitude.

Mineralistic and spicy on the nose, with a hint of cherries and maybe even a bit of varnish. Tastes of dark chocolate and raspberries with a slight chalkiness. Medium to full bodied. Still young with strong tannins. — 6 years ago

9.3

Exotic and potent, with a label that would make Gianni Versace proud. Opens with a peculiar and foreign attitude, but offers a bouquet of wildflowers encased in red licorice, and wears newly stitched racing jacket. Certainly polished, but there’s no mistaking where this is from... the red dirt bursts from the glass. — 8 years ago

Oxidised wine. Spends one year in demijohns in the sun, and then goes to large old oak casks.

Nose: Great subtlety here, very gentle, black berries, cherry liquor, dried figs

Palate: very gentle and delicate, very very soft tannins, very subtle and coalesced aromas, almost seem not alcoholic; interesting aftertaste of cherries with cane sugar and caramel.
