Mas Martinet Pesseroles Brisat 2023 [Orange Wine]

The Pesseroles Brisat is a striking orange, cloudy wine with plenty of character. It's a white wine with skin contact (also called orange wine), made from a blend of 42% Garnatxa Blanca, 35% Picapoll, and 23% Pedro Ximenes. All the grapes were harvested simultaneously, with whole bunches fermented for several weeks.

The nose is distinct and clearly influenced by contact with the skins, with aromas of peach, quince, beeswax, pollen, and an earthy note. According to winemaker Sara Pérez, these primary aromas only disappear after about seven years, after which notes reminiscent of petroleum emerge, similar to Rieslings from slate soils (such as those in Germany). On the palate, the wine is rich in tannins (rare for a white wine), full-bodied and tense, with plenty of structure. The Mas Martinet Pesseroles Brisat is a distinctly gastronomic wine, ideal for food pairing.
