Brisat is made from 75% Garnacha Blanc and 25% Macabeu from 15- to 35-year-old vines around Capçanes, grown at between 300 and 350 metres on sandy clay soils locally known as panal. The fruit is harvested earlier than typical for the area—when flavour is ripe but still with reasonable acidity. Montsant permits harvesting at 11% for whites which gives Huber flexibility to pick earlier than in Priorat and this 2018 finished at 12% ABV. Brisat in Catalan refers to wine fermented on skins, and unlike the first release—which was whole-bunch fermented—half the grapes were direct-pressed, with the other half skin-macerated for five to seven days. Fermentation took place with wild yeasts before resting on lees for six months in tank. Bottled unfiltered. Yum.
