Wine Advocate 93 points. The skin-contact white 2023 Pesseroles Brisat has a murky orange color and was produced with 40% Garnacha Blanca, 30% Picapoll Blanc and 30% Pedro Ximenez (proportions that will change in 2024). It was macerated with skins—but without stems—for the time it took to finish fermenting, a little less than three weeks, in amphorae and matured in glass demijohn. It has notes of quince, pollen and earth and is greatly influenced by the process. It comes through as balanced, with fine tannins and a salty twist.. LG May 2026.   The Pesseroles Brisat is a striking orange, cloudy wine with plenty of character....

Wine Advocate 93 points "The dark amber, almost orange 2022 Pesseroles Brisat, produced with Garnacha Blanca, Picapoll Blanc and Pedro Ximenez, macerated with skins for three weeks and then matured in glass demijohn, with the press wine matured in white clay containers that polish the wine in a way Sara Pérez likes. It has a textbook nose of an "orange" wine, plenty of quince and pollen. This style of wine requires patience and years in bottle to show its true character, because in the first few years, it's greatly marked by the process. The challenge in 2022 was to keep the freshness and tension, especially in the...

Wine Advocate 96+. The white 2022 Gratallops Partida Bellvisos Blanc has an attractive, magnetic nose with tons of spring flowers, a hint of mushrooms, notes of cheese rind (all the wines go through full malolactic) and a spiciness that somewhat transports me to the Jura. It has a lightish and sharp palate with only 13.5% alcohol and is clean, balanced and serious. It has the 2021 profile but with a hint of the warmer and drier year. It's bone dry and delicious. 800 bottles produced. LG May 2026.     When Rene Barbier Jr. (Clos Mogador) and his wife Sara Perez (Venus Universal and Mas Martinet) brought the abandoned, very old...

Tim Atkin MW 94 points. Dido Blanc 2022  is a medium to full-bodied and aromatic white wine. On the nose, it features notes of green apple and peach, accompanied by a hint of citrus.

This wine is a blend of  Macabeo  (50%),  Garnacha Blanca  (40%) and  Xarelo  (10%). The grapes used for  Dido Blanc  originate from different estates situated in D.O. Montsant. Two of the estates...

Wine Advocate 94 points. The 2023 Dido Blanc had less skin contact, to try to counterbalance the ripeness of the year, something they started in 2022. It's a year with a more generous expression, but there's purity in the wines. They achieved good balance, a very clean nose and a medium-bodied palate with 13.5% alcohol. There's a little more Macabeo, 55%, with 30% Garnacha Blanca and 15% Xarel.lo, mostly from direct pressing. It fermented in foudre and spent a longer time in concrete, around eight months. There's a flinty note, reminiscent of struck match, lots of flowers and herbs and an austere and stony palate. I found it...
