Entre Vinyes Oniric Brisat Orange

Winemaker Entre Vinyes on the winery

“We are Maria and Josep, and through Entre Vinyes we are bringing old family vineyards in Baix Penedès back to life. Our vineyards lie at around 300 to 350 metres above sea level, close to the Mediterranean and surrounded by rich biodiversity. We farm organically and pay close attention to the natural balance in our vineyards. Our project is about preserving old vines and local grape varieties, making wines with minimal intervention that express their place of origin.”

And on Catalonia, Spain

“For our Oniric Brisat, we use mainly Xarel·lo, complemented by Parellada. After hand harvesting, we ferment the Xarel·lo with its skins, while the Parellada is pressed directly. This traditional Catalan method is known as brisat: white wine made with skin contact to develop additional colour, aroma and texture. After fermentation, we blend the wines and allow them to mature for several months in amphorae and stainless-steel tanks. We bottle the wine unfiltered. The result is a dry, lively orange wine with citrus, orange peel, spice and a gentle grip.”
