Top sommelier-turned-winemaker, Mr. Massard is shaking up the little-known region of Montsant. Using modern winemaking methods, Franck's taking this wine region into a new stratosphere of quality.
A blend of Carignan and Grenache, the Huellas by Franck Massard elegantly captures the essence of the Priorat terroir. This is an extremely complex wine with nuances of mature fruit, minerality and herbaceous spice, with fine tannins and an elegant, long, lively finish.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby bright color wine. Appealing spicy notes of white pepper and clove, cassis and aromatic herbs like thyme and rosemary. 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 finish to this wine.Food Pairing
A simple but perfectly grilled piece of your favorite cut of beef!Awards
