Franck Massard El Mago Red 2018
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.
El Mago is born from several plots located on limestone and clay soils. Blend of Grenache and Carginan... soft, elegant, fresh and balanced. El Mago means “the wizard” echoing the magic of changing grapes into wine. It is also the contraction of the name of the winemaker’s daughter Maya and son Hugo, his 8 years old son is the master designer responsible for that unique and amazing drawing on the label!
Tasting Notes
El Mago is a fresh, clean unoaked wine. The nose is appealing: spices like white pepper, little strawberries, cherries and fig aromas. The balanced acidity makes it a very light easy-going wine with very soft tannins, standing out eucalyptus and citrus flavors on the palate.
Food Pairing
It’s a versatile wine, very easy to pair with mostly any kind of food from tomato based stew, to grilled chicken and pasta dishes.
