How to serve Les Manyes

Allow 65 minutes from open to pour.

1. Open and decant. Open 60 minutes before serving and pour into a decanter to aerate.
2. Serve at 14-16°C. Cellar temperature (14-16°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
3. Glassware. Use a Burgundy bowl with a wide opening: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
4. Pair with. Roast pigeon with thyme jus, Lamb shoulder with garlic and herbs, Aged goat cheese. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.

History

Les Manyes is the Garnacha Vinya Classificada from Dominik Huber's biodynamic estate Terroir Al Limit. Huber, a German-born winemaker who previously worked at Mas Martinet, arrived in Priorat in the early 2000s and developed a unique approach inspired by Burgundy, using whole bunches, large wood, and non-interventionist winemaking.
