Mas de Libian - Khayyam 2021 Demeter, Côtes du Rhône, Bio

In our opinion, Mas de Libian's Khayyam is one of the world's most revered natural wines. Mas de Libian are trailblazers in the organic and natural wine movement, crafting beautifully balanced, elegant wines for decades. Khayyam - their flagship red wine - is no exception. Organically grown Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah are macerated for around 15 days before spending 9 months ageing in a mix of stainless steel and large oak barrels. The result is a warm and inviting red wine filled with summer berry and nutmeg flavours.

Ageing Potential

WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE Warm, inviting and spicy with flavours of black cherries, nutmeg and red late summer fruits. The smell is concentrated and long and best after an hour or two in the decanter.
STRUCTURE This wine has seen 15 days of maceration with light pump-overs. A third of the wine spent another 9 months aging in large oak foudre. The result is a full-bodied, concentrated wine that can easily withstand some ageing in the bottle. The Grenache lends smoothness whilst the Mouvedre and Syrah give structure, tannin and backbone.
PAIRING This wine is an homage to Omar Khayyam, the Persian poet. Happily, it would make a perfect pairing with Persian food. Think fluffy pomegranate spiked rice with slow-cooked lamb in fenugreek, dried limes and herbs.
