Mas De Daumas Gassac, Famille Guibert
France
Technically farming with conventional methods, but each and every harvest is completed by hand and it shows in the wines they produce.
Respect is the key, underpinning element of the philosophy at Mas De Daumas Gassac. Respect for the environment, respect for the complexity of the wines, respect for a natural, stable biotope. Motivated by the desire to produce authentic wines that are a genuine reflection of the sublime, complex terroir. Famille Guibert (who have tended the legendary Mas De Daumas Gassac estate since the 1960s) opted to plant old grape varieties offering low yields in order to focus on quality over quantity. They refer to their vineyard as a “museum” of forgotten varieties that boast unique and authentic characters and their blush Reserve de Gassac Rosé is a real stand out masterpiece for us.
