John Almansa came out as a natural winemaker in 2015 after having made a turn from keeping bees and making olive oil in Languedoc and created Domaine Zou Maï, which translates to “Come on!”. Today he cultivates 3 hectares in Congénies in Gard and recently planted another 2 hectares in Hérault, in a forested area with a bit of altitude. Something that was much needed after the record breaking hot vintage 2018 in order to bring acidity and freshness into the wines.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
Back when John was searching for his first vineyards in Gard he specifically went for grape varieties that were edible, something that explains a great deal about his style of winemaking.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
John is an idealist with a heart of gold and a head full of ideas who wants to make wines that taste good and are easy to drink, and boy, are they easy-drinking!
