The perfect basis for Vignobles Vellas wines
The Vignobles Vellas winery started four generations ago in the heart of the Languedoc. The main family property, the Mas du Pont estate, the center of their activities, is a place of culture and traditions. It is located in the towns of Teyran and Crès, near Montpellier, between Pic St Loup and the Mediterranean. Today Nicolas Vella is at the helm, passionate about wine and the Languedoc region. He strives for excellence, authenticity and innovation. This forms a perfect basis for making wines of very high quality. Vignobles Vellas has 120 hectares of vineyards, spread over five wine estates. The bottles are marked by eye-catching labels.
In addition to their own vineyards, the range is further complemented by partnerships they have with winemakers from the Languedoc, the Sud-Ouest, the Rhône valley and Provence. Thanks to these partnerships, they can offer wines from all areas of the South of France. The majority of their vineyards are organic, as respect for nature is of paramount importance.
Full manual harvest for Max Lion Grenache
The vinification of hand-picked berries at the optimum ripeness stage and sorted by hand is done in the traditional way in steel tankers at a controlled temperature. The Max Lion colors garnet-ruby red in the glass, releasing the aromas immediately. The scent has impressions of black fruit such as cassis, cherries and slightly blackberries. In the back of the nose some small nuances of herbs and pepper. The taste is very soft, even velvety with a firm attack of dark fruit and the right balance of spices.
