Frisach 2022 Vernatxa 750ml

For lovers of sea urchin, cockles & whelks. Brothers Francesc and Joan Ferré are part of a two century long line of grape farmers, making energetic natural wines in the Terra Alta appellation of Catalonia. Harvested in two separate picks, first to immortalize the natural acidity, second to develop more plush and full characteristics – the winery says they do this to get, “the ultimate expression of the variety, yin and yang of garnacha blanca”. A week of fermentation on the skins locks in an ample texture that can stand up to long nights & long dinners. Pale yellow, low-hanging sour white fruits, whole banana tree, chopped fennel, dried quince, citron, aniseed & minerality hanging on long after you swallow. Enjoy with salt cooked whole red snapper.
