VILACLOSA BRISAT

Continuing the legacy of our Vilaclosa wines, this is a single-varietal: 100% Macabeu. A variety that has long coexisted in Terra Alta alongside White Grenache, and we believe it deserves to be celebrated.

Brisats—also known as orange wines—are wines fermented on their skins, which gives them more tannins, a more intense flavor, and greater body.

And there’s so much more to tell! Its origin, the process, its gastronomic pairings… Don’t miss the special presentation we’ve prepared for this ancestral wine!

La entrada 🍷From vine to wineglass: experience the birth of a new wine with us se publicó primero en Celler La Botera - Terra Alta.

In the program, Francis Villarroya, one of the partners of the winery, and Ivette Alonso, our winemaker, joined us to present two of our most special wines: Mar de Batea and S’Àmfora Mudèfer, which have been aged in the depths of the sea. Along with Xavier Belda, a merchant sailor and head of S’Àmfora, we discovered the wonders of underwater aging, a process that adds a unique complexity to our wines.

We also had the opportunity to share the table and a glass with Ton Rimbau, a viticulturist and producer of Porcellànic, a natural wine made with minimal intervention, which, like ours, undergoes an aging process in water, in this case, freshwater. It was fascinating to see how, despite the differences in the process, the respect for the product and nature is what truly unites all of us who work with wine.

The program was completed with a tasting in which we compared one of the harvests of these wines with its “terrestrial” version, that is, aged in the conventional way. And it was fascinating: the mineral and salty nuances of the wines treated under the sea were unmistakable.

Missed it? Don’t worry, you can also enjoy the podcast that was released on March 24th, where we continue talking about this unique experience. Here are the links for you to listen to and enjoy the full conversation ( in catalan):

More than a tasting, the text offers a sincere look at the spirit behind our work: a deep respect for white garnacha, a commitment to our land, and a way of understanding wine rooted in simplicity and emotion.

And no wonder: a single-varietal white garnacha, fermented in stainless steel and aged on its lees for three months, expressing the soul of Terra Alta with elegance.

“White flowers, tender almond, more floral than fruity. Fresh, easy to drink, with creaminess and tension…,” writes Moliner.

And we nod, knowing that behind every sip are vineyards cared for like children, and decisions made with wisdom and respect.

The author not only highlights the wine, but also the philosophy of Ivette, our winemaker:

“If the product that comes from the vineyard is so good, my job is not to ruin it.”

This is a love story — for the land, for garnacha, and for a way of making wine that allows the product to fly free, unmasked.

As the article wisely notes, sometimes the best pairing isn’t with a dish of rice, but with the people we share the wine with. That’s how we see it too: wine is company, memory, conversation.

Thank you, Empar, for capturing it all with such sensitivity.
And to those who haven’t yet tried Vila-Closa 2024… we invite you to discover it.

This article highlights the uniqueness of underwater aging, a technique that combines tradition, innovation, and the sea’s transformative power. In collaboration with Xavier Belda, we embarked on this adventure that led us to submerge our amphorae filled with White Grenache (S’Àmfora Mudèfer White) and Carignan and Red Grenache (S’Àmfora Mudèfer Red), sourced from the oldest vines of the Mudèfer estate.

For nearly 12 months, the wine rests 10 meters deep in the Badia del Fangar, gently rocked by the currents and lunar cycles. The result is a wine with a surprising evolution, refined structure, and aromatic complexity that is difficult to achieve through traditional aging methods.
