Sensory Description:

Cherry-garnet in color with violet highlights, this wine opens with expressive aromas of fresh red berries, floral tones, gentle spice, and subtle mineral notes. The palate is broad yet agile, driven by bright acidity and crunchy red fruit from Garnacha, balanced by the darker fruit depth and structure of Cariñena. Texturally smooth and lively, it finishes fresh and mineral, inviting repeated pours. The 2022 vintage emphasizes immediacy and balance, delivering a negre-style wine that feels youthful, fluid, and effortlessly drinkable rather than heavy or extracted.

Winemaker's Background:

Celler Frisach is run by brothers Francesc and Joan Ferré, whose family has farmed vineyards organically for more than 200 years. Based in Corbera d’Ebre, they began bottling their own wines in 2009, drawing on deep agricultural roots and a strong commitment to sustainable viticulture. Their work is defined by minimal intervention, concrete aging, and a focus on blending vineyards at optimal ripeness to preserve freshness and vibrancy in a warm Mediterranean climate.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve slightly cool to highlight freshness and mineral detail. This wine pairs naturally with grilled vegetables, roasted poultry, simple meat dishes, and everyday Mediterranean fare, or enjoyed on its own as an easygoing, table-ready red.
