Presentation
Founded in 1923 in Baixas, a small Catalan village, the Vignobles Dom Brial bring together 200 proud and committed winemakers. These enthusiasts generously cultivate their terroirs in the continuity of their spiritual master Dom Brial, a Benedictine monk, a child of the village and a benefactor of the city. Recognized for their know-how, they maintain, share with the sweat of their brows small arid and stony plots on nearly 2000 ha. Committed and responsible, they obtained their sustainable development certification in 2010.

Inspired by the traditional Georgian winemaking process, white grapes are vinified and fermented as whole clusters (like red wines). This maceration technique with the skins provides, thanks to the polyphenols and anthocyanins contained in the grape skins, this typical color and a tannic structure.
Ageing
3 weeks skin contact maceration in 225-French oak barrels
