- Description
In 1981, Mas Martinet was born, a lifelong project and a dream come true. The brand is the result of the passion of Josep Lluís Pérez and Montse Ovejero and is now owned by the entire family: Josep Lluís, Montse, Sara, Núria, Adrià, Marc, Jordi, Armando, and Pilar. The unique wines of Mas Martinet in Priorat have enormous aging potential. For over 25 years, Martinet has reigned at the top of the Priorat appellation. In recent years, father Pérez has retired from Mas Martinet, and the wines are now vinified by Sara Pérez (see also Venus, Dido, and Gratallops ). Sara is also the wife of another icon, René Barbier Jr., known for Clos Mogador , and René and Sara also make wines under their own names, Sara Pérez y René Barbier. Naturally, we also carry these wines. 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. FACT: In the "Attachments" tab, you'll find the official fact sheet for this fine wine.
