Tasting note
- Colour & Appearance
- Luminous gold in the glass – the maceration method leaves its visible mark without tipping into cloudiness. A wine that announces character from the outset.
- Nose
- The bouquet is rather herbal than fruity: A subtle smoky note settles over hints of fennel and ripe pear. The warm vintage of 2022 lends the wine a certain maturity without compromising freshness. Not a loud, obtrusive aroma – rather a quiet, self-assured whisper.
- Palate
- Full-bodied, grippy and creamy at once – this wine lives from its structure, not from fruit. Silky-fine tannins provide backbone without dominating, and an invigorating spice runs through the entire palate. Less an orange wine in the modern sense than a distinctive character with deep regional roots.
- Finish
- Long, saline-mineral and with an appealing, subtle bitterness – the finish invites the next sip. A wine that doesn’t compromise itself.
- Terroir & Origin
- The grapes hail from several vineyard sites in Montsant, one of Catalonia’s most characterful appellations. Clay and sandy soils shape the minerality and structural tautness of this wine.
- Grape Variety & Vinification
- Made exclusively from Garnacha Blanca (Grenache blanc) – a thick-skinned white wine variety that seems tailor-made for the maceration method. The wine bears the Catalan name Brisat, traditionally used for skin-fermented white wines of the region. Unlike historical precedents, however, it matures in stainless steel – pure-toned, unadorned, modern in execution yet deeply rooted in tradition.
- Food Pairing Suggestions
- An ideal companion to monkfish with tomatoes and mussels in white wine sauce. Generally, this wine pairs beautifully with grilled fish, seafood, tapas with robust herbs or a Catalan escalivada.
- Special Features
- The Brisat 2022 is an impressive case for forgotten Catalan wine traditions. Terroir Sense Fronteres – “Terroir without Borders” – succeeds in convincingly combining regional authenticity with contemporary taste. A wine with personality, conviction and provenance.
