Oufti is a convivial cuvée par excellence, with savory notes of ripe fruit, finely wooded, accompanied by typically Mediterranean scents of garrigue. The palate is harmonious and round, with lovely, silky tannins. This wine should be aired and/or decanted. A delicious and highly original Fitou!

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Former restaurateurs in Alsace, Pierre and Mireille Mann gave in to the irrepressible urge to become winegrowers, setting up in 2005 in the maritime sector of the Fitou appellation. After three years in a cooperative winery, during which time they converted the vineyard to organic farming, they began production of Mas des Caprices in 2009. Most of the vineyard is located on the Leucate plateau, on the edge of the cliffs overlooking the sea, in a magnificent, unspoilt environment. A harmonious blend of thirst-quenching and more ambitious cuvées, the wines give pride of place to local grape varieties (carignan and grenache gris), combining ripeness and freshness of fruit. This is an address to discover first, a particularly coherent range, where freedom of tone is combined with precision of flavor.

Somewhat disappointed by this wine, which seems to have to wait a little longer before being drunk.

No problem for me with the single bottle ordered. A lovely southern red that worked very well with a chicken casserole.

Bottle really not good. A rancid taste. The rest of the bottle ended up in the sink. Please let us know if others have experienced the same disappointment.
