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.

Winemaker:
Brice Company
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.
