New Mazel - big format white and reds to chill down…

We may have entered the sleepiest month of our Wayward Imports schedule, but that’s not to say we don’t have some new wine to tell you about.

The latest additions are from the much-loved Domaine du Mazel, with a trio of new wines bolstering our already fairly comprehensive line-up.

Prolific and influential in the region for well over 20 years, Gerald and Jocelyne Oustric have quietly been making some of the most expressive sans soufre wines in the Ardèche without fanfare since the late 90s. Identifying as paysan - farmers and workers of the land foremost - their aim is to produce pure, nourishing wine that is at home on any kind of dinner table, be it feast or frugality.

One of their most sensationally popular wines in recent times has been from a younger vinyard - their lip-smacking 100% Cinsault, Cuvée Paulou. Now in its 3rd vintage, we’re happy to welcome the youthfully exhuberant 2025 to the list, bottled earlier this year.

White wine from Mazel is thin on the ground right now, so as we patiently wait for the 2025s to complete their fermentations we’re greatful for a handful of magnums of 2024 Cuvée Les Leches, the only format this wine is left in. The perfect size for summer lunches with a big group.

Cuvée Raoul 2024 has really hit its stride now, this herby, luminous ruby Carignan works perfectly thrown onto the ice.

Up to order on the website now and available at wholesale to our trade customers.
