HUMILITAT

Humilitat was handcrafted to reflect the essence of Priorat.

Appealing spicy aromas like clove and curry, aromatic herbs and a rather ripe nose displaying dried fruit notes, fig, prune and aniseed.

A medium bodied wine with very good structure and aromatically complex with a hint of eucalyptus that provides to the wine an intense freshness.

🍷 In order to perfectly enjoy a wine pairing, it is important that both parts of the pairing come out victorious and manage to stand out. If the food is stronger than the wine, it will not do its job. The same will happen the other way around.

🍖 Lamb meat undoubtedly shines with its own light and that is why we have chosen a wine from our cellar with character and personality to pair it perfectly.

🍇 Carignan and Grenache are the main protagonists in this pairing and in a vintage like Huellas 2011, they show once again why they are the stars of the DOQ Priorat.

📃 Silky and subtle on the palate with great depth. Appealing spicy notes of white pepper and clove, ripe and very subtle aromas of cinnamon, figs, black fruit and chocolate it delights and stand out in this pairing with stewed lamb.

📌 Undoubtedly a vintage to remember! This fact reminds us once again the ease with which our Priorat wines can surprise us and exceed our expectations with more than 10 years of bottle age.

Cheers! ✨ Carlos Sancho

HUELLAS

🍷 Deep ruby bright color wine. Appealing spicy notes of white pepper and clove, cassis and aromatic herbs like thyme and rosemary, grown all over Poboleda.

A complex wine, with a solid structure felt on the palate with a marked but balanced acidity that highlights the eucalyptus aromas, providing freshness, elegance and a long nice finish to this wine.

EDA

👃 Elegant nose rather Burgundian with wild berries, oak, fine spices like clove, ginger, pepper, cinnamon and some meatiness.

👅 The palate is dense but with a soft extraction, fine and grainy tannin with a vibrant acidity, layers of raspberry, red wild fruit and dark plum.

⚖️ Despite its youth, the wine is balanced, with velvety tannins and a very long finish.

Enjoy it if you have the chance!

MAS AMOR 💚

Mas Amor meaning More love has always been a special name for us with deep meanings.

As a natural evolution, Mas Amor is not just a wine but also part of a greater project to care of people in needs.
Since last year 4% of our selling price goes to a foundation for children to fight against leukemia and other oncological disorders. The @leucos.byingrid is a foundation started by Ingrid a 13 years old girl who was diagnosed with Leukemia 2 years ago and luckily fully recovered today.

To add strength to the Project and our rosé Mas Amor we have renamed our Herbis Verdejo, Mas Amor verdejo. This organic white is a great compliment to this growing range.

We are proud to launch this year Mas Amor Verdejo in line with our commitment to participate in the health of our social community and producing sustainable wines.

Cheers to Mas Amor, More Love,
Franck.

Monday! We started the week working hard💪🏻 i

Monday! We started the week working hard💪🏻 in our vineyards! It is very satisfying to testimony the different growth-cycles of the vines as time pass by. Every cycle of the season requires it’s very specific attention🔍.
These last few weeks Jessica, Slavi and Feli have been collecting the vine cuttings and creating our own biochar by pyrolysis. Once ready, and in combination with an organic compost, it will be applied in the soil to nourish it and stimulate microbial activity🧬.

At Franck Massard we want to offer quality wines, and this starts with care and work in the vineyard😉.

WINE TASTING: steps to be a PROFESSIONAL wine tast

WINE TASTING: steps to be a PROFESSIONAL wine taster 🤓 (or at least to look like one)

1. SIGHT👁. Tilt the glass over a white background. Observe the color, the tone, the intensity.

2. SMELL👃🏻. Swirl the glass, aerate the wine, and smell. Put your nose in the glass: what aroma does it remind you of? (Make a philosopher's face if you can't distinguish anything, at least it will seem like you can).

3. TASTE👅. Drink, let it cover your tongue. Breathe in air through your nose, and taste the wine. Do you notice any nuances, textures? (If not, SIMPLY ENJOY).

We hope you have enjoyed these tips we give you, but above all, ENJOY THE WINE AND THE MOMENT!✨

"Inky dark purple core and hue. Youthful nose slightly "alternative" or natural in a balanced way with pure dark fruit, crème de cassis, violet and pain d’épices. Very fresh and digest palate, mild tannin, a fresh acidity, youthful and primary fruit flavours with good length."

Ever wonder what "fruity" means? 🧐

Are we actually adding ingredients such as blueberries, mint, rosemary, vanilla, cassis essence… to our products? Absolutely not🚫. That isn’t to say that these flavors and aromas aren’t real, however — they just come as a result of certain compounds that may also be found in the fruit, herbs or aromas mentioned before.

Ester, Terpenes, Pyrazines, Thiols compounds… We can all smell these aromatic compounds via orthonasal route 👃🏻 and retro nasal route 👅 (flavour) so we make instant associations to fruits 🍒🫐🍓 or essences that our brain has been identifying over the years to make a match.

Enjoy the wine, no stress! 😉

Vinya Cucut - 💯 CARIGNAN!

📢 Our challenge is still to project the essence of the Carignan grape which Franck believes is the most exciting autochthonous variety.

For this we have selected low yielding vines with an average production per vine of 1.5 kg.
