Brothers Francesc and Joan Ferré’s family have been growing grapes on their organic farm for over 200 years.  Based in Corbera d’Ebre, way up in the hills of Catalonia west of Barcelona, they’ve been making their own wine since 2009 and have the families’ commitment to sustainable and organic viticulture deep in their DNA.  Celler Frisach have gained a reputation for making ripe but vivid wines, a classic reflection of the hot days and cool nights, so typical of their Mediterranean climate.

The brothers work hard in their calcium-rich vineyard to coax as much complexity from their Garnacha Blanca as possible.  In the wrong hands, this is a high volume, insipid variety but with careful farming of their old vines, then two passes at harvest, Francesc and Joan harness both the grapes’ natural acidity and the texture and immediacy that comes with full maturity.  100% stainless steel, no oak and no clarification or filtration.
