De Mena is a Catalan term that means "by nature", indeed it is by nature that Sebastien Agelet crafts the beautiful wines of Domaine De Mena. Grape growing has a long tradition in Sébastien's family, his Great Grandfather, Grandfather, and Father have all worked the rugged vineyards around Paziols in the heart of the Pyrenees Mountains. It is with this family tradition in mind, along with a desire to create a legacy of his own that Sébastien decided to pull his family vineyards out of the local co-op and follow his own path, the path of nature, and thus De Mena was born.
From 30-year-old vines grown on north-facing slopes of red clays. Hand harvested, maceration of whole bunches for 10 days. Maturation for 8 months in used oak casks. Minimal sulphur added. A nose of black fruits, with notes of blackcurrant and spices. Black cherry, spice and pepper. A luscious yet balanced Syrah.
