2023 Mas Martinet Bru BIO

In 1981 Mas Martinet was born, a life project and a dream come true. The brand is the result of the passion of Josep Lluís Pérez and Montse Ovejero and is now in the hands of the entire family Josep Lluís, Montse, Sara, Núria, Adrià, Marc, Jordi, Armando, Pilar. The unique wines of Mas Martinet in Priorat have enormous storage potential. For more than 25 years Martinet has been at the top of the Priorat appellation. For a few years now father Pérez has withdrawn from Mas Martinet and the wines are vinified by Sara Perez (see also Venus, Dido and Gratallops ). Sara is also the wife of another icon namely Rene Barbier Jr known from Clos Mogador and Rene and Sara also make wines under their own names namely Sara Pérez y René Barbier. Of course we also carry these wines.

Clos Martinet comes from the plots of the Mas d'en Martinet estate, located in the wine region of the town of Gratallops. The land, which contains slate, and the different exposures of the vineyard give this wine the typical character of an estate each year. Mas Martinet is one of the pioneers of the new Priorat, the project of the Pérez family. Since 2017, they no longer use a sorting table and do not do pied de cuve, but all their fermentations are with the yeasts of the grapes; and they stopped cooling the grapes 15 years ago. From 2006 to 2016, they increased the number of full bunches in their fermentations, which are now all 100% full bunches for all wines except the Martinet Bru.

They have 25 hectares of vineyards in five different locations that are farmed organically and biodynamically with permaculture and regenerative agriculture. The Martinet Bru comes partly from an estate called Mas Seró, located in the area of Masos de Falset, the estate of Serra Alta, at an altitude of 400m and facing southwest, and an estate located in Torroja, which is colder and deeper. It is a blend of Garnatxa Negra, Carinyena, Sirà and a little bit of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon of course made organically/biodynamically without chemicals.

The Martinet Bru is the gateway to Priorat. It is a wine of our time, more accessible in every way. The vineyards where it comes from receive the south-westerly wind called garbinada, a humid sea breeze known to cool the last hours of the hottest summer afternoons and to obtain slower and longer maturation. The Martinet Bru is a modern, beautiful, tasty and fresh wine, but with the typical structure and minerality of the Priorat. The Martinet Bru has a deep cherry red color, ripe fruity aroma, expressive, powerful, mineral, toasted, creamy oak. Tasty, fruity and meaty in the mouth. Beautifully long finish of fine cocoa and chocolate. Particularly well balanced.
