ABOUT THIS WINE
L'Abrunet Blanc is a vibrant, low-intervention white wine crafted by Celler Frisach, an estate run by brothers Francesc and Joan Ferré in Corbera d'Ebre, Catalonia. The name 'L'Abrunet' translates to 'swallow' in Catalan, paying homage to the migratory birds that signal the arrival of spring and youth. Representing the fifth generation of grape growers, the brothers focus on highlighting the unique heritage of Terra Alta, the global capital of Garnacha Blanca. The estate is fully committed to organic farming, dry farming, and preserving the historical memory of their land through honest, unadorned wines.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
This wine is made from 100% Garnacha Blanca (locally known as Vernatxa Blanca) sourced from organically farmed vineyards. The grapes are harvested manually to ensure optimal selection. Fermentation takes place spontaneously using indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the pure, fresh varietal character of the grape. To maintain its natural energy and texture, the wine undergoes minimal intervention, is unfined, and is bottled with very low sulfur additions.
