ONCV Office National Algérie Mascara

Algeria's state wine organization, maintaining the country's wine production legacy from the ONCV cellars in Mascara and other appellations. ONCV's Cuvée du Président and appellation wines represent Algeria's attempt to revive its world-historic wine industry for export and domestic markets.

ONCV's Mascara wines have been studied by French wine historians as the source of much 19th-century French wine's color and body, and the region is now attracting attention from natural wine researchers interested in Algeria's ancient vine material and the Tell Atlas terroir that made Mascara wine the French wine industry's most essential secret ingredient.
