2022 Entre Vinyes Brisat Vermell
Certified Organic Skin-Contact Wine/Female Owned Winery
An organic project from Maria Barrena, one of the partners at Azul y Garanza and her husband, Josep, a third generation grower in the Penedès. The family vineyards were planted about 60 years ago in the Baix Penedès area, close to the Mediterranean sea and adjacent or inside the national park.
The Spanish Xarel.lo (pronounced sha-rel-lo) grape is traditionally used in the production of Cava but it’s red-skinned cousin takes center stage here with a delightful wine made using the “Brisat” process, a Catalan term meaning extended maceration. Extra time on skins allows for greater extraction of natural flavors, aromas and tannins and minimal intervention thereafter means what goes into the glass expresses exactly what came off the vine.
Wine: A cloudy yellow color with a slight pink hue. Flavors of spiced apple and fennel seed abound with just enough acidity to keep things in balance. A lovely bitter, almost crunchy finish.
