Terroir Sense Fronteres Brisat 2023
HK$ 285.18
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The skin-contact white 2023 Brisat ('brissat' is the Catalan word for 'skin contact') was produced with Garnacha Blanca grapes that fermented with the full clusters in concrete for three to five days and matured in stainless steel for six months. It has an old gold color, quite deep and a characterful and expressive nose with some reductive notes, flinty gun powder, from the reductive character of the stainless steel. It goes beyond the orange character and is more mineral and flintier, medium-bodied and with a chalky feeling. It has contained ripeness and a sharper profile, with 12% alcohol and a pH of 3.28, for which they had to harvest very early, the 5th of August. It's an unusual color for the profile. 9,700 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2024.

Description
Terroir Sense Fronteres Brisat comes from the region of Catalonia, specifically from the Montsant Valley. This wine is classified as an orange wine, a category that has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique winemaking process and distinctive flavour. It is made exclusively from the Garnacha Blanca grape variety, an indigenous grape that gives the wine its unique characteristics.
These grapes come from vineyards located at an altitude of 300-350 metres above sea level, with vines that are between 15 and 35 years old planted in sandy-clay soils.
Winemaking
Terroir Sense Fronteres Brisat begins with alcoholic fermentation with whole clusters without destemming, using indigenous yeasts. Subsequently, the grapes are left to macerate with their own skins for two weeks, a process that gives the wine its characteristic colour and additional aromatic complexity. Finally, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for six months.
Taste
Terroir Sense Fronteres Brisat presents an aromatic profile that combines balsamic aromas, orange fruit notes and floral hints. On the palate, it is a rich, exotic and mineral wine. Despite being light, it has a long finish, offering a fresh and elegant experience with a savoury saline finish. This combination of flavours and aromas makes this wine a perfect choice for those looking for something different and memorable.
