Mas Martinet Pesseroles Brisat 2018

Mas Martinet Viticultors is synonymous with a winery that produces wines of the highest quality. Sara Pérez, who runs the family winery, had been experimenting for some time with a white wine to match her famous reds. In 2002, a plot of land near the Pesseroles road was planted with white grape varieties that were grown in the area: Grenache Blanc, Picapoll Blanc, Pedro Ximénez... When the vineyard begins to bear fruit, Sara begins to experiment... for 8 years! Until it achieves the quality and style of wine ready for the market. The year 2018 already marks the third vintage marketed of this Pesseroles Brisat, which pays homage to the traditional style of brisado wines from all over Catalonia, making wines from white grapes as if they were reds. We could say that it is a plot wine, located in the area of Falset (Tarragona), and attached to the D.O.Ca. Priorat. The organic farming, the licorella (slate) crumbled soils with calcareous subsoil, and its special vinification, can only give this magnificent result. Winemaking notes: fermentation with skins for 1.5 months, then resting without capping for 3 months. After pressing, the wine is transferred to a glazed decanter and demijohns for aging for 16 months. The 3 varieties are harvested together on the same day and produced together (field blend), in order of quantity and similar parts: Picapoll (38%), Garnacha Blanca (34%), Pedro Ximénez (28%). The bottle is transparent, simulating the aging containers and the purity of the wine, while at the same time allowing us to enjoy its beautiful amber color. Mas Martinet Pesseroles Brisat 2018 is an extremely limited production wine as only 796 bottles were made, the largest production so far!
