Domaine Mamaruta Amassa Cinsault 2020

Price: $26.00
Tasting notes

The five-to-six-day whole-cluster maceration with zero pump-over keeps tannins silky and lets Cinsault's natural red fruit and white pepper character come through cleanly. The 30% Carignan component gives the wine a tart cranberry edge and enough structure to make it food-friendly without losing the easy drinkability that makes this bottle disappear fast.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package; carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older. Shipping to PO Boxes is not allowed.

Ship to a FedEx Store

If nobody can be at your address to sign for the package, you can have your order sent to a FedEx store instead. Enter your preferred FedEx store as the shipping address at checkout and we'll ship your order there. Once it arrives, you have 5 business days to pick it up, and you'll need to show your ID.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice packs upon request, at a cost, but even so, we can't be held liable if it's 104 where you are and corks pop. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Placed an order. What next?

1. You will receive an order confirmation email with your order summary.*

2. As soon as your order ships from the warehouse, usually within 2-3 business days, this applies to all shipping rates, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking information. 2DAY shipping refers to shipping time; we still need 2-3 business days to prepare an order. We need to pick and pack, QA, add printed collateral, and palletize the orders.

3. Please track your package using the tracking service.

4. The carrier will attempt delivery a maximum of 3 times. After 3 delivery attempts, your package will be sent back to our warehouse.**

*Please ensure your email address is correct; otherwise, you will not receive the order and shipping confirmation emails.

**If delivery is attempted 3 times without success, or if you fail to retrieve your package from the carrier depot by the stated deadline, the shipping fee will not be refunded to the customer.

Producer profile

Domaine Mamaruta

Marc Castan grew up in Narbonne and spent his childhood in the Corbières maritimes. After completing viticultural training, he took over vineyards originally planted by his grandfather, who had been a country veterinarian in the area. Castan spent several years delivering fruit to the local cooperative before deciding in 2009 to vinify independently under the Domaine Mamaruta label.

The estate covers approximately 14 hectares spread across La Palme, Roquefort-des-Corbières, and Leucate on the Aude coastline. Soils vary between rounded alluvial pebbles near the étang de La Palme and limestone cliff faces above the Mediterranean. Around 70% of vines are gobelet-trained. Yields average 16 to 20 hl/ha. The domaine is certified organic and incorporates biodynamic practices including herbal preparations applied to vine wounds after pruning. More than ten Highland cattle graze the parcels over winter, providing natural fertilization and replacing herbicide use entirely. Hedgerows have been planted at vineyard borders to promote biodiversity.

Harvest starts in mid-August to capture natural acidity before the Mediterranean heat pushes sugar accumulation too high. All picking is done by hand in small crates, in the morning hours. In the cellar, Castan works with minimal intervention: whole-cluster fermentations in stainless steel or fiber tanks with no temperature control additives, no fining, and very low or no added sulfites depending on the cuvée.

Wine region

Languedoc-Roussillon, France

Languedoc-Roussillon stretches along the Mediterranean coast of southern France from the Rhone delta to the Spanish border. It is one of the largest wine-producing regions in France by volume, with a strongly Mediterranean climate defined by hot, dry summers, mild winters, and persistent winds including the Tramontane. Soils are highly varied across the region, ranging from limestone and clay near the coast to schist in the higher interior zones of Corbières and the Pyrenean foothills.

Fitou, established in 1948, was the first AOC granted in Languedoc, and sits as two geographically separate enclaves within the larger Corbières appellation. Fitou Maritime, where Domaine Mamaruta's vineyards are located, consists of low-lying plots on clay-limestone soils flanking the saltwater lagoons between Narbonne and Perpignan. The proximity to the sea and the lagoons moderates temperatures and provides cooling winds, helping producers preserve natural acidity at lower elevations. Corbières itself authorizes Carignan, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault for red wines, with Carignan historically dominant in the maritime zone.
