Brisat is made from 75% Garnacha Blanc and 25% Macabeu from 15- to 35-year-old vines also around Capçanes. Peceric harvests earlier than typical for the area, when flavour is ripe with good acidity. Montsant permits harvesting at 11% for whites, which gives Terroir Sense Fronteres the flexibility to pick earlier than permitted in Priorat (this 2019 finished at 11.5% ABV).


Brisat in Catalan refers to wine fermented on skins. Half the grapes were direct-pressed, and the other half were skin-macerated for five to seven days. (If you tasted earlier releases, we should note that today Huber and Peceric are searching for more finesse and place-expression in this wine and so have toned back the ‘skinsyness’). Fermentation took place with wild yeasts before the wine rested on lees for six months in tank. Bottled unfiltered.

Reviews

“There is a reductive and stony quality here that I like very much (there are notes of gunpowder and flint), and the effect of the skins is quite light and lets the wine come through in a clear and transparent way. It's light and refreshing, with energy and electricity, remarkably fresh for a year like 2019. The palate is also very mineral/stony, serious and balanced, with a dry and very clean finish. They explained that Garnacha Blanca behaved exceptionally well in 2019 and that it was a little trickier for the Macabeo, which took longer to ripen. This is the direction they want to go with their whites...”

“This has notes of the seaside and oyster shells on the nose with lively lemon and orange peel notes. The palate is saline, linear and intense, with a bit of spicy structure, some grapefruit pith, and a lovely mineral core, showing good acidity. Very fresh and detailed with a really lovely precise finish. Distinctive stuff.”
