La Foradada de Frisach 2024
Ecológico
In the southern Catalan region of Terra Alta, there is a tradition of producing white wines using the skins, stems and seeds of the grapes. A white wine from Terra Alta produced in this manner is called Brisat (from "Brisa", the local name that designates the solid part of the grapes).
The hugely interesting wine La Foradada de Frisach is made in such a a way.
A varietal White Grenache (or Vernatxa Blanca, as it is known in the region), this Spanish white wine is made from grapes coming from a single vineyard.
First, the wine must was fermented with the solid part of the grape bunches for some days. Then, after a gentle pressing, this organic white wine wine was aged for about 12 months on its lees in stainless steel tanks, with no lees-stirrings whatsoever.
Finally, the white wine La Foradada de Frisach 2024 from Celler Frisach was bottled unfiltered and naturally stabilized by the winter cold.
Aerate some time before drinking.
| Appearance | The wine La Foradada de Frisach has a straw yellow colour with some golden tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | A very interesting nose this organic white wine has. Ripe white fruit, citrus, rosemary, almonds, camomile, hay, cereal, menthol, aniseed and green almonds. This varietal White Grenache has a notable aromatic complexity. |
| Palate | Smooth and well-defined, this Brisat white wine from Celler Frisach has thrust and an excellent acidity. Mediterranean herbs, some touches of honey, citrus, and white fruit, alongside some remembrances of flowers and some hints of dry earth. Long, delicately bitter finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Seductive and highly idiosyncratic, the wine La Foradada de Frisach 2024 opens up new vistas for Catalan white wines. |
