Hi Everyone! Today I wanted to mention the snooker

Hi Everyone!
Today I wanted to mention the snooker concept in food and wine. Mr Alain Sanderens previously chef-owner of the famous 3 michelin star’s Lucas Carton was known as one of the very first chef to take major interest in food and wine.
Going against the grain of the classic principles, he claimed that food pairing was like snooker. Hit one ball which will roll into other balls bouncing against the cushions unfolding a myriad of possibilities.
Following this principle I am sharing my lunch experience with you all from the other day. Entraña of Beef with Grenache!
The “entraña” of beef (skirt steak) is a very tasty and inexpensive part of the beef. My wife macerates it for a day with soya sauce, lemon juice, the “Guindilla” spice (dried chili pepper) and garlic. The result is very tasty dish with that element of umami/sweetness brought by the soya sauce. Here we have a typical flavorful dish and a multitude of possible interactions with a wine.
Considering that it was lunch time, I went for a light unoaked Grenache, a juicy wine with some personality like El Mago Tinto from DO Terra Alta. This kind of casual pairing that flows well as the meat exudes its flavours interacting with aromatic compounds in the wine.
PS. We served it with green beans and carrots that were boiled and then fried with butter and the sauce from the meat.

(En) As a reflection of the "terroir" of the regio

(En) As a reflection of the "terroir" of the region, we have managed to produce a 100% old Cariñena from our owned vineyard of only 3 hectares. Our challenge still is to demonstrate in a glass, the essence of the Cariñena, which we consider the most interesting autochthonous grape variety in Montsant.
A wine without added sulphites, interesting, pure and delicate. A small total production of just 1,800 bottles. (Es) Como reflejo del “terroir” de la zona, hemos conseguimos elaborar un 100% cariñena proveniente de nuestro viñedo en propiedad de tan solo 3 hectáreas. Nuestro reto sigue siendo demostrar, en una copa, la esencia de la Cariñena que consideramos la variedad autóctona más interesante en Montsant.
Un vino sin sulfitos añadidos, interesante, puro y delicado. Una pequeña producción total de tan solo 1.800 botellas.

(En) Enjoying a great wine is pleasant, but enjoyi

(En) Enjoying a great wine is pleasant, but enjoying a great wine with no added sulphites is pleasant and beneficial for you. That is what we want to talk about today: about wines without added sulphites. What are these famous sulfites? Well, in wine, sulphites are found naturally at low levels but sometimes they are added during the process to improve the conservation of the grapes or the wine once bottled. Sulphites or sulfur dioxide (SO2) is used to prevent oxidation and to control the industrial processes that are followed during the elaboration of a wine. What happens then if we follow a natural and respectful process with healthy grapes and no use of sulphites? That we obtain a wine of the highest quality, and that it does not need chemical preservatives to guarantee its flavor or conservation. It is a delicate technique and requires time and dedication but it can definitely be achieved.
What wine could you then try without added sulphites from our range?
From Franck Massard we offer you a range of three wines that meet this criteria:
-Saviesa 2018 - DO Montsant
-La Cesta 2018 - DOQ Priorat
-El Mago tinto “estilo libre” 2018 - DO Terra Alta
Do not hesitate to try it and tell us what you think! And if you have already done so, share your experience with us in comments, we will love to read you!

(En) A great “tapa” of razor clams, so popular

(En) A great “tapa” of razor clams, so popular on our tables during the summer, with its unique touches of garlic and parsley together with the acidity of the lemon juice, makes the perfect pairing for our Godello from Galicia, Audacia.
With an intense floral fragrance and a fresh acidity as well as some salty and toasted notes, it perfectly marriages this delicious and juicy bite. (Es) Un buen plato de navajas, tan popular en nuestras mesas durante el verano, con sus pequeños toques de ajo y perejil unido a la acidez del zumo de limón, hacen la combinación perfecta para nuestro Godello de Galicia, Audacia.
De intensa fragancia floral y con una fresca acidez así como alguna nota salada y tostada marida perfectamente este delicioso y jugoso bocado.
