Franck Massard
Website : www.epicure-wines.comAs well as working with Christophe, Franck has a few projects of his own, of which one is El Mago Organic Garnacha. The combination of Franck’s early experiences as a sommelier (best sommelier in the UK 1996) and 8 years in the trade based in Spain, spawned his passion for winemaking. He makes wines from vines at high altitude in marginal climates and his obsession with quality and letting nature run its course is amply evidenced. El Mago Organic Garnacha comes from some of the higher vineyards in Terra Alta DO, it is delicate and restrained with a soft, fruit forward balance.

Humilitat is born to reflect the essence of the Priorat with no oak artifice and a gentle extraction. We still perceive the garrigue and dark mulberry fruit typical of the area, yet the texture is delicate the tannins soft and the finish lingering.
