Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of wines are Coume Del Mas – Fortifieds known for?
Coume Del Mas – Fortifieds are renowned for producing rich, elegant, and concentrated fortified wines, particularly from the Banyuls appellation in Roussillon. These wines are most often made from Grenache, a variety well suited to the warm Mediterranean climate and the schist-rich soils of the region. The style is typically luscious and full-bodied, with a natural sweetness balanced by fresh acidity. Aromas often include ripe blackberries, dried figs, cocoa, and subtle spice, while the palate delivers a velvety texture and lingering complexity. Some examples are aged oxidatively to develop nutty, caramelised flavours, while others retain a fresher, fruit-forward character. These wines are celebrated for their ability to pair beautifully with chocolate desserts, blue cheese, or roasted nuts, but they are equally enjoyable on their own as a contemplative, after-dinner drink.

The schist soils here are key to the wines’ personality, imparting a distinct mineral edge and supporting excellent drainage. The climate is warm and sunny, moderated by cooling sea breezes that help maintain freshness in the grapes.
