Description
In a wild corner of the Baix Penedès, where the Mediterranean breeze rustles through the vineyards like an ancestral whisper, Sicus Cartoixà Brisat was born. Eduard Pié, the restless and radical soul of the Sicus project, decided from the outset that his wines should speak softly but with depth. He did not look for formulas or trends, but for truth: the truth that comes from agriculture without artifice, without make-up, in which the plant and the soil dictate the rhythm. This wine comes from the La Caseta plot, a 24-year-old single vineyard planted at 210 metres above sea level, barely six kilometres from the Mediterranean Sea. The marine influence is clear but subtle. The soil, of a loamy texture and calcareous nature, with good drainage and moderately basic pH, provides tension, structure and natural salinity to the wine.
Winemaking
Sicus Cartoixà Brisat is made from a single variety, 100% Cartoixà (the local name for Xarel.lo), worked under a philosophy of minimum intervention. The grapes are harvested by hand in whole bunches and put directly into tanks without pressing, allowing the must to drain under its own weight. Fermentation is carried out through a prolonged infusion with the skins for eight months, a slow process that extracts tannin, texture and complexity, respecting the natural time of the grapes. After this maceration, Sicus Cartoixà Brisat spends a month in clay amphorae, which provides a subtle micro-oxygenation without influencing the aromas, and finishes its ageing with an additional seven months in stainless steel tanks, where all its freshness, tension and varietal purity are preserved.
Taste
Far from any conventionalism, Sicus Cartoixà Brisat presents itself with a delicately complex nose: mandarin peel, camomile infusion, dried quince and a slight hint of ripe apricot. There are notes of dried flowers, white tea and a background of fresh hay, all enveloped in a saline and mineral layer that evokes the landscape from which it comes. The palate is surprisingly light (just 9.5% vol.), not for lack of body, but for its subtle balance: the texture of fine tannins - brought by the maceration - intertwines with a low but lively acidity, generating an elegant tension. The wine flows with purity, leaving a long, dry, slightly bitter finish, with echoes of citrus peel, raw almond and Mediterranean herbs. It is a wine that does not seek to please immediately, but asks for attention, air, time. A white with the soul of a red, naked, honest, for those who value the truth of the landscape in every sip.
