Producer Profile
Alfredo Arribas a multidisciplinary architect, has developed most of his renowned international career in multiple world locations. Recently, more of his works have taken place in his birth town, Barcelona.
In 2001, Alfredo started his adventure in the wine world, after acquiring the estate Clos del Portal, in Priorat, where he centres his activity. In parallel, he develops a recovery task of a bunch of old vines – Trossos – in the neighbour Montsant appellation.
Perfectionist and empirical at the same time, Alfredo associates elaboration to creativity. Bringing forth vinifications with substantial notes and accents, he proposes sensible Priorats.
The respect and curiosity for different origins and terroirs creates in his work the proliferation of references, itineraries through the territory, with the explicit duality between search/discovery… in the spectrum of his wines.
Viticulture
InStabiles are free wines, they resign to vintage continuity and in particular to that of their origins. They are exercises based in the art of “assemblage”, bringing together the purest cellar work – Wine Craftmanship.
Winemaking
“Brisat” meaning skin contact – this wine spends a longer time of its skins (18 days). Made from a wide range of mediterranean varieties: Garnacha Blanca, Macabeo, and Muscat. Maceration of 15 days with clusters destemmed berry by berry.
Spontaneous fermentation, bleeding and very gentle pressing. Aging in horizontal white stoneware eggs.
Refined, very aromatic and vinous.
Wines capable of evoking an ancestral character and at the same time tuning in with the most sensible and advanced gastronomy.
Tasting Note
A natural wine in every sense of the word. Aromas of tropical fruit and green mango. Layers of quince, pithy grapefruit, orange and mandarin fill the palate and roasted cashew. Finishes with real umami character and salinity.
Goes well with
Grapefruit and goats cheese salad.
Cellaring
3-6 years with careful cellaring.
