Mas de Daumas Gassac, the cult wine house from Languedoc region is perhaps the most exciting addition in the portfolio of FWM during the last year. The company which has developed a cult status during the last decade first participated in IFOWS in 2002 with a dismal interest from importers due to general ignorance.. It was a jewel waiting to be discovered.
