- The appearance of this non-fined, non-filtered Florfina 2023, with its yellow-green reflections, clearly reflects the wine's youthful character.
- Aroma:

- Taste:
- The initial taste is smooth, showcasing the wine's finesse. The mid-palate is elegant and refined, with volume and sweetness perfectly balanced by crisp, fresh acidity.

Vinification, winemaker's own words
- Soil:
- Clay, Gravel, Limestone
- Terroir:
- Nestled in the heart of the Montpeyroux appellation in the South of France, between the wild scrubland of the garrigue and the Mediterranean Sea, MARA WINE is not merely an estate. It is a living legacy. Situated at the foothills of the Larzac massif, with a due-south orientation, the ancient farmstead of Clos Le Brusq overlooks a rare treasure: a spring resurgence, first revered by the Romans, that irrigates the vines and infuses our wines with a distinct, powerful personality.
- Harvest:
- Picked by hand
- Fermentation:
- Old oak (100%)
- Storage:
- Old oak (100%) 12 months
My quest carried me even to the distant shores of Canada, amongst the First Nations, where I learned the art of attentive listening. There, I encountered the remarkable Lecher antenna, an instrument enabling communion with the vine, discerning its needs without imposition. Since 2013, the estate has drawn solely upon its natural biotope: no external inputs, save the minimal sulphites essential. My guiding principle is one of profound simplicity. The soil imparts fragrance, the vine yields the grape, and my role is merely to accompany with humility. The white wines are vinified in barrels and stirred upon their lees for an extended period, bestowing exceptional volume and roundness.

- Mouton Larzac exudes an intense and complex bouquet of mixed red, black, and blue berries, intertwined with fresh, mentholated eucalyptus notes and hints of liquorice that impart considerable freshness on the nose, alongside a touch of floral red fruit on the palate, featuring violet, rose, and peony.

The hillside tannins and classic aromatic complexity create a harmonious ensemble, leading to a very long and elegant finish. Built to age for decades, this collectible wine reveals its character after a few years in the cellar. It is particularly representative of this special vineyard in the foothills of Larzac, characterised by clay-limestone soil once covered by the sea, well-drained and rocky under the typically sunny mountainous climate, benefiting from the Company’s minimally interventionist winemaking approach.

Vinification, winemaker's own words
- Soil:
- Clay, Gravel, Limestone
- Terroir:
- Firmly anchored in the mountainous reliefs of Larzac and gently refreshed by the marine influences of the Mediterranean, this wine is crafted from a blend of old Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah vines. It is thoughtfully conceived here at Brusq, in the hinterland of Montpellier. The vineyard benefits from the influence of the garrigue and a warm, windy climate, ideal for the long maturation of the red varieties from Larzac. Handcrafted using unique winemaking techniques passed down through three centuries of dedicated cultivation, it blends creative inspiration with rigorous oenological standards. From this segment of time was born the Mouton Larzac, whose vintages average only 250 cases per year. The 2023 vintage is part of the collection of fine vintages from Mara Wine. The year was characterised by extreme climatic events: low rainfall in spring and a heatwave in July. The exceptional summer and Indian summer allowed for remarkable ripening, resulting in a dazzling wine.
- Harvest:
- Picked by hand
- Fermentation:
- Steel (100%)
- Storage:
- Old oak (80%) 16 months, New oak (20%) 16 months
The fundamental principles of winemaking at Mouton Larzac are based on the fresh maturation of the grapes, pure plot-specific vinification, indigenous yeasts (selected on the estate), gentle extraction, prolonged maceration, manual pump-overs, and a single rack-and-return during the four weeks of fermentation. The malolactic fermentation takes place in vats, followed by barrel ageing. The Mouton Larzac 2023 is matured in two-wine oak barrels for 16 months.

Vinification, winemaker's own words
- Soil:
- Clay, Gravel, Limestone
- Terroir:
- This wine is sourced from a plot cultivated with respect for the terroir and biodiversity. The chosen blend results from the marriage of old Mourvèdre with the unexpected Carignan, which brings a 'Punky' aromatic complexity. The terroir of Mara Wine derives its uniqueness from its geological genesis. Shaped by clay-limestone soil that was once covered by the sea, it emerged during the Hercynian uplift that gave birth to the Larzac. The interaction between two geological origins, both volcanic and limestone, along with the hilly relief, creates a complex network of underground water circulation, favouring an exceptional natural water supply for the vineyard and the emergence of several sources of pure water. Its altitude of 128 metres, combined with its southern exposure, contributes to the production of a perfectly balanced rosé wine with great aromatic freshness.
- Harvest:
- Picked by hand
- Fermentation:
- Steel (100%)
- Storage:
- Steel (100%) 8 months
The key principles of winemaking at Mara Wine revolve around maintaining cool temperatures for the grapes, pure parcel-based vinification, indigenous yeasts (selected from the estate), and gentle extraction. The manual harvest in crates takes place at dawn to benefit from the overnight temperature drop. With the winery located at the heart of the vineyard, transport time is minimal. The finest juice is then selected. Prior to fermentation at low temperatures, a 24-hour cold settling is carried out at a controlled temperature between 8 and 10°C. There is no malolactic fermentation on this wine, which is naturally fined and filtered. Pinky Punky 2023 is vinified in stainless steel tanks and manually refrigerated, avoiding barrel ageing to preserve the lightness of this exceptional wine.

About MARAWINE
Wine case – Frequently asked questions
What is a wine case?
A wine case holds six bottles from a single winery, with at least two different wines. It is built around a theme, region, grape or wine expert, and shipped directly from the winery. It is a simple way to get to know a new producer.
Are the wines in a wine case tasted before being added?
Yes. Every wine in a wine case has been tasted and approved as part of joining Free Grape Society. Independent wine experts on the platform can add their own ratings and reviews on top, so you often see several perspectives on the same bottle. Nothing reaches the wine case without being vetted first.
Can I choose the wines in my wine case?
It depends on the wine case. Some are pre-curated by a wine expert or a producer and shipped as a fixed selection. Others let you build your own six-bottle box from a defined range. The product page for each wine case tells you exactly which option applies, so you always know what you're picking.
Why does a wine case always contain six bottles?
Six bottles is the format that gives you enough variety to explore different styles without overcommitting, and it matches the standard packing unit used across the European wine trade. That keeps shipping efficient and prices fair. Every wine case on Free Grape Society is six bottles, no exceptions.
How is a wine case delivered?
A wine case is shipped directly from the producer to your home in a single tracked shipment. There is no warehouse step in between. The wine leaves the cellar and arrives at your door. Delivery time depends on the producer's location and your market, and is shown on the product page.
Where do the wines in a wine case come from?
The wines in a wine case come directly from small-scale, independent wine producers across Europe. Each bottle ships from the winery itself, never from a central warehouse or middleman. You're buying directly from the people who made the wine, which is one of the founding principles of the society.
What's included in the price of a wine case?
The price you see on a wine case is the full price. Taxes, VAT, and shipping are all included, so what you see at checkout is what you pay. Because every wine case ships directly from the producer with no warehouse step, there are no hidden markups along the way.
Can a wine expert help me pick the right wine case?
Yes. Independent wine experts on Free Grape Society can recommend a wine case based on your taste profile or the occasion. You can browse their profiles, see what they've curated, and ask them a question directly. Their advice is free, and they are a core part of the society.
How do I get personal wine recommendations on Free Grape Society?
You can get personal wine recommendations by following an independent wine expert on Free Grape Society or by asking them a direct question through their profile. Experts match you based on your taste, so the advice feels personal, not generic. Join the society to start getting recommendations that fit how you actually drink.
