Additional Info
“Los Amics” means “les amis” (friends) in Occitan. This is Marc’s way of thanking everyone who has helped him along the way – friends, family, colleagues and loyal customers. Created via blind tasting, this blend reflects his various terroirs and different methods of vinification. The goal was to produce just one wine that best reflects the vintage.
