Catalunya, Spain— Pale yellow color with golden reflections. On the nose it is of good intensity, fresh and very varietal, notes of white fruit, tropical fruit, citrus notes, aniseed notes and minerality. In the mouth it has a good entry, fresh, light, fruity, good acidity, elegant and structured aftertaste, slight bitterness and a medium-length finish. Light and fresh, great expression of white Grenache!
Certified organic. The entry-level white wine at Frisach—abrunet means ‘swallow,’ the birds that grace the landscape; it represents youth and freshness for the domaine. Young-vines Vernatxa (20 year-old parcels), on iron-rich, calcareous clay at 390m above sea level. They do two passes through the vineyard for this wine, an earlier one to maintain freshness, and a later one for phenolic ripeness. Pressed and given around 12 hours’ skin contact before spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel. Aged 3.5 months on the fine lees in stainless steel. 10ppm SO2 added at bottling
