Product Description
Details
One of the bottlings of the "Vins Únics" (Unique Wines) collection from bodega Celler de Capçanes, Mas Tortó Brisat is a rather appealing Spanish white wine made solely from old-vines White Grenache.
The grapes are sourced from non-irrigated and organically farmed bushvines situated at 500 to 600 metres of altitude, in the heart of DO Montsant.
Hand-harvested in late August, the grapes were destemmed, stomped and macerated in 1,000-litre French oak vats. Following the style of the brisat wines, they were subsequently fermented with the skins and pipes of the grapes, during which process the solid skin cap was punched down on a daily basis.
After that, Mas Tortó Brisat 2022 was aged for 9 months in new 300-litre French oak barrels, with periodic lees-stirrings to enhace the creaminess and roundness of the wine.
The production of this Crianza white wine is ridiculously low. Only 800 bottles!
Pair this white wine from Montsant with creamy and semi-hard cheeses, white meat recipes, spicy oriental dishes and pasta.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The white wine Mas Tortó is medium gold with some amber reflections. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Complex and ever-evolving, this varietal White Grenache carries aromas of ripe apricots, quince jelly and candied lemon rind, with a hint of orange blossom and elderflowers, and dim suggestions of spices and garrigue. |
| Palate | Textured and structured, but not as "raw" as other brisat wines, this wine from Celler de Capçanes is full of subtleties. Bone fruit and aromatic herbs, with a sweet spicy note compensated by a steely acidity. Finish is long and complex, suggesting white fruit and flowers. |
| Our personal opinion | A paragon of well-tamed rusticity, Mas Tortó Brisat 2022 is a compelling and excellently priced organic and vegan white wine. |

elegant brisat
A quite refined brisat white wine. Don't expect a rugged, coarse orange wine in the Georgian style. This is much smoother.
