L'Anit de Frisach 2023
Ecológico
Like the rest of bodega Celler Frisach's product range, the wine L'Anit de Frisach is a wine which could be defined as "retrofuturist", because it casts a glance back into the past to radically imagine the future.
This unconventional approach is particularly apparent in this single vineyard red wine: an unwooded Carignan - a variety associated with a generous use of oak and a high alcohol content - with just a 12,5 ABV.
This varietal Spanish red wine is sourced from over 80-year-old vines grown in panal soils. The organically farmed vineyard is located near the village of Corbera d’Ebre, in the heart of DO Terra Alta, Catalonia's westernmost wine producing area.
Hand-harvested, the grapes were vinified in concrete diposits. This red wine from Terra Alta was first macerated for a brief period of time and then fermented under controlled temperature.
After that, the wine L'Anit de Frisach 2023 was aged for 9 months in the tanks and was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
This one-of-a-kind organic red wine will pair excellently with meat dishes and hearty rice recipes.
It is absolutely essential to decant this wine 2 hours before drinking.
| Appearance | The red wine L'Anit de Frisach is deep ruby with a maroon rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Amazingy expressive, this varietal Carignan manages to combine a kind of rugged, primal energy with a remarkable delicacy. Ripe cherries, bitter cocoa and violets, with deep mineral remembrances and a brushstroke of citrus and Mediterranean garrigue. |
| Palate | Judiciously, this wine from Celler Frisach saw no oak whatsoever. The depth and complexity of this Carignan thus appears in all its glory. Supple and lifted, bursting with enegy, but also very delicate and nuanced, leading up to a deeply mineral, slightly bitter finish. |
| Our personal opinion | The wine L'Anit de Frisach 2023 is a totally successful combination of refinement and ruggedness. |
