Languedoc - Roussillon

Domaine du Peras

Finding a quality entry level wine ( house wine ) is always a challenge as often these wines are produced for the mass market and therefore consistency in the quality is very hard to achieve. 

Not only does Mathieu, the winemaker, likes to focus on single variety in order for the consumer to know what is in the glass, but he goes as far as harvesting at night time in order to keep the freshness and the fruitiness, in the wine rather than the oxidised touch or cooked fruit taste, which can be found in so many wines of the region. Entry level, house wine at its very best!

Sauvignon Blanc - 2013Fresh grassy and mineral aromas combine with a crisp clean attack showing this to be well made Sauvignon. The surprising depth and lenght of flavour makes it stand out from the crowd.

The company was born in 1945, founded by Jose Maria Vaquer Bes. In his home, they had always made wine, so Jose Maria began to sell it using his brand new Opel Blitz car. The Mariol wines from Batea began to reach important markets such as those of Reus and Barcelona, and on the barrels from the city wine merchants it was common to find Batea written in chalk, together with the number of Jose Maria's second truck, a Chevrolet with a 77777 number plate which they said was famous in Catalonia.

The Casa Mariol brand that we see today was created by descendents Marta, Joseph Maria and Miquel Angel in 2007. Not only is the packaging unique, innovative, and eye catching, the wines are great too, representing fantastic value across the range.
