Celler Frisach L'Abrunet Negre

Winemaker Celler Frisach on the winery

“Our family winery is located in Corbera d’Ebre, in the heart of Terra Alta. We are Francesc and Joan Ferré, and with Celler Frisach we continue our family’s winemaking tradition. For generations, our family has cultivated grapes and olives here. We farm organically and focus on local grape varieties, with respect for nature and the landscape. Our wines tell the story of our region and the people who have been connected to its vineyards for centuries.”

And on Terra Alta, Spain

“For our L’Abrunet Negre, we blend Garnatxa Negra and Carinyena, two grape varieties that have traditionally grown side by side in the vineyards of Terra Alta. The grapes come from the Creveta and Vall de Canelles plots, with clay and limestone-rich soils. We harvest both varieties at the same time and ferment them together. The whole grapes are traditionally trodden by foot and macerated on their skins for around a week. The wine then ages in concrete tanks. The result is a supple, light and lively red with ripe red fruit, floral notes and a subtle touch of spice.”
