The wine is bright and fresh on the nose, with a light herbal note that reminds me of thyme. The palate is bursting with flavour - I am reminded of lemon oil and flaked almonds. It‚is rich and mouth-filling but fresh and zippy at the same time.

Brothers Francesc and Joan Ferr are responsible for Cellar Frisach. The family have been growing grapes in the region for over 200 years and selling them to local co-operatives to be blended into bulk wine for supermarkets. But in 2009, realising the potential of their old-vines, the brothers set out on their own, determined to showcase the region's unique character.

 Here in Terra Alta, about 90 minutes drive inland from Barcelona, the climate is warm Mediterranean, but there’s good altitude in the foothills here, which helps to cool the vines overnight to keep the freshness. Combined with the limestone soil, which always seems to give elegant wines, you have a unique terroir producing exciting and great value wines.
