About this wine

MAJJAN 2018

A little jewel of a dessert wine from one of Spain’s most exciting mountain wineries — the kind of sweet wine that converts people who say they do not do sweet wines.

Majjan comes from Castell d’Encús, perched at 1,000 metres up in the Catalan Pyrenees, where the cool mountain air keeps everything fresh. It is a late-harvest blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, made sweet but with the bright acidity that altitude gives — so it is luscious without ever being cloying. It comes in a 50cl bottle, perfect for sharing at the end of a meal.

In the glass it is a deep gold. Aromas of peach syrup, candied citrus and honey, with a fine, waxy note. The palate is sweet and unctuous but beautifully balanced — honeyed stone fruit lifted by a streak of fresh acidity that keeps it clean and moreish right to the finish.

Lovely with blue cheese, fruit tarts, crème brûlée, or foie gras — or simply a glass on its own as the meal winds down.

The region

Meet the winemaker

Castell d'Encús

Castell d'Encús is one of the most thrilling projects in Spanish wine — Raül Bobet's mountain estate high in the Catalan Pyrenees, where he ferments some wines in medieval stone troughs carved into the rock. Everything is farmed with real care at altitude, giving wines of unusual freshness and precision. Majjan is their sweet expression, and a beautiful one.
