Product Description
Details

The prestigious winemaker Joan Asens, head of bodega Orto Vins, is the producer of this Spanish white wine.

A varietal White Grenache, the wine Blanc d’Orto Brisat is crafted following the ancestral brisat technique, which consists in macerating the wine must with the grape skins for a substantial period of time. The resulting wine has the same characteristics as an orange wine.

The grapes were sorted from three small vineyards located in DO Montsant and farmed following organic and biodynamic techniques. The vines, 20 to 75 years old, are planted in limestone soils.

This varietal brisat white wine was fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks, with gentle pump-overs, and then macerated for a whole lunar cycle (28 days). After that, the white wine Blanc d'Orto Brisat 2021 was aged on lees for a period of 6 months, and for a further 4 lees without the lees. the wine was gently filtered before bottling.

This is a substantial, highly characteristic Crianza white wine.

Appearance

Nose

Rather complex, this varietal White Grenache suggests aromas of quince jelly, lemon rind, fine lees and patisserie, with subtle notes of Mediterranean garrigue, flowers and dry earth.

Palate

Elegant and textured, this wine from Orto Vins has density, freshness and lots of character. It conveys a real sense of place, with a fantastic acidity and a long finish with an aftertaste of pastry, white fruit and aromatic herbs.

Our personal opinion

Both subtle and substantial, the wine Blanc D’Orto Brisat 2021 is an exquisite orange wine from Montsant.

Really pleased with this wine. Gently tannic and herby, with good acidity that finishes rich.
