Arc en Ciel 2023 - Domaine de Mena
Domaine de Mena's Arc en Ciel perfectly shows off the 'by nature' attitude Sébastian Agelet has to winemaking.
This red wine combines Carignan, Lledoner Pelut (aka Hairy Grenache), Syrah and Muscat for a lushly red fruited and herbaceous bottle with characteristics of blackberry, cranberry and cherry that make it the perfect complement for meaty winter dishes.
De Mena's grapes grow on organically farmed hardy bush vines which withstand the hot sun and tramuntana winds for which the foot of the Pyrenees is famed. For this bottle each variety was vinified separately, spontaneously fermented with native yeasts, macerated for 7 days and then aged for 7 months in concrete vats before bottling without filtration.
Domaine de Mena is the project of Sébastian Agelet who grew up in his parents' vineyards in the mountain village of Paziols. His domaine in the Hautes Corbieres is split with his brother Franck, who produces his own wines under the name Clot 13.
Like many small producers they started their winemaking journey selling their product to a local co-op, then began experimenting with natural winemaking, focusing on 10 hectares of outstanding indigenous variety bush vines. Their name 'De Mena' (from nature in Catalan) runs through everything they do; Seb says that all the work is in the vinesm which are farmed organically, and the wine practically makes itself.
Domaine de Mena's powerful but fresh wines are true to the wild and windy hills at the foot of the Pyrenees, crafted by nature with just a light touch from the Seb.
