Brisat is made from 75% Grenache Blanc and 25% Macabeo from 15-35 year old vines around Capçanes, grown at between 300 and 350 metres. The fruit was whole-bunch fermented, nothing was destemmed or crushed, before resting on lees for six months in tank. Bottled unfiltered. Fleshy and with plenty of powdery grip, this is truly a wine of the new Spain, in terms of the complexity and style. Very, very smart.
The dark-straw colour with orange reflexes and the bold tannins on the palate mean that this is, in some sense, an orange wine. Lots of nuts and dried herbs, but also some dried apricot on the nose. Quite long. Mostly Grenache Blanc plus some Macabeo. Drink or hold.
