Maury AOC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maury is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée for wines made in the Roussillon (Northern Catalonia) wine region of France.

Almost all wines are red, made from at least 75% Grenache Noir grapes. Other permitted grapes are Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, and (rarely used) Macabeu, Malvoisie and Muscat.

Maury is well-known for its sweet, fortified dessert wines. Although the grapes are different, they are used and marketed very like port.
