About the wine
Refined old-vine Carignan from your champion of unique Spanish vineyards
- This 90-point award-winning old-vine red is humming with a complex blend of dark fruit flavors, a long, luxurious finish and a dash of savory spice that Franck says goes perfectly with traditional Spanish dishes like Iberico pork shoulder or a hearty paella.
- Thanks to your support, Franck’s able to give these old, dry-farmed vines the most love and attention possible, believing that truly great wines are all made in the vineyard.
- Everything in the vineyard is done by hand and the vines are naturally low-yielding, meaning Franck can only make so much of this wine each vintage. Bring home a few bottles while supplies last.
Best before
Enjoy this wine now through 2026.
Serving advice
Carignan is a variety that tends to improve with some exposure to the air. I would advise to open it an hour before serving and even decant when possible.
Food match
Paella-based dishes would make wonderful pairings, as would chicken, lamb, Iberico pork or surf and turf.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Franck Massard
- 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.
- We think Franck's got natural talent which is why we've used Angel funding to help him to grow his winery. Which means you get tomorrow's medal winners at today's prices!
- Recommended to us by Benjamin Darnault, Franck's spent the last few years making tiny parcels of wine. Already a Silver medal winner, we've snapped him up before anyone else does.
