Franck Massard Retrat del Priorat 2018
About the wine
A meticulously crafted gem from the prestigious Priorat
- Franck used his Winemaker of the Year prize fund to create his dream wine - a meticulously crafted gem, from Spain's most prestigious region. And it's exclusive to you!
- This beauty is jam-packed with ripe red fruits, with a loooong lingering finish thanks to an extra year's ageing in the bottle. Magical stuff.
- Savvy customers bought most of the first vintage in advance on Marketplace - be sure to try this gem before it's snatched up.
Best before
5-8 years but it could be kept for over 10 years or more
Serving advice
Decanting always help to aerate the wine so if you have any at home, do not hesitate to take it and give it a good shake!
Food match
It is wine of great definition that would match superbly a pan fried ribeye of beef served simply with triple cooked chips.
Other few favourite dishes are robust butifarra sausages, a hearty veal and mushroom dish called fricandó, and roasted vegetables served with the tangy romesco sauce.
Contains sulphites
