Hits all the notes I look for in a rustic, unfiltered white. Bright, lively, and a little crunchy. — 2 years ago
Brisat Vermell - lovely orange wine with notes of peach — 3 years ago
Xarello är en trevlig druva, krävs lite flirtar för att den ska öppna upp sig. Nummer 93 av 375 producerade flaskor. #tnwc — 4 years ago
The color is a kind of pale, golden orange, with a strong nose of marzipan, birch, and a liqueur like astringency. Very “adult”. The flavor is bold, meaty on the finish, complex with a delicate minerality, and notes of candied orange, light tannins in the back of your throat, and a lightly woody flavor on the palate, very interesting, very different from any orange wine I’ve had. — 6 years ago
The funkiest wine in the lineup, En Moviment 2 is made with Macabeu (aka Viura in Rioja), a sometimes neglected variety known for its high yields - especially in young vines- and relatively neutral flavor profile. One of the 3 main varieties in cava, it is often reserved for blends. This Macabeu is however sourced from old, low yielding vines planted in the 1940s on a small, terraced plot in Comes d’en Bonet, northeast of Gandesa. Fermented in stainless steel with 4 months of skin maceration (a traditional brisat, unfiltered skin contact). Medium copper hued. Fragrant. Aromas of citrus (tangerine, orange rind) and dry herbs. Quite fresh, good acidity, some spicy notes. Saline, with a nice slightly bitter finish — 6 years ago

The first of the range’s four single-vineyard wines, the En Moviment 1 is a complex orange wine made with old vine Garnatxa blanca from a very small plot in the Comes d’en Bonet, to the northeast of Gandesa. Fermented with wild yeasts with 28 days on its skins and partially under flor, it is an authentic example of Brisat wine, a traditional style of skin-contact wines from the Terra Alta and Spain’s Mediterranean coast. Akin to the amber wines of Northeastern Italy and Slovenia and known for its extended macerations, the style fell out of grace during the past century as consumers demanded lighter, but is now making a comeback thanks in no small part to the efforts of winemakers like Pili Sanmartín. Fruit-forward. Very expressive nose of peach, apricot, orange, notes of dry herbs and sweet spices (cinnamon). Quite dry, with fine-grained tannins and a full palate. Slightly bitter finish. — 6 years ago
Funky cheese mixed with floral aromatics on the nose give way to peaches and citrus on the palate. — 6 years ago

100% Garnacha blanca from a single plot in Gandesa, planted in the 1990s in panal (fossilized sand dunes) soils. Fermented in clay amphorae with indigenous yeasts and short skin maceration - just 5 days, as opposed to the estate’s other “brisat” wines, which macerate with their skins for 1-4 months. Aged in clay amphorae for 6 months. Aromas of tangerine, apple, white flowers and some herbal notes. Fresh, elegant, balanced. Good acidity. Long finish, with slightly bitter notes. — 5 years ago
