Franscesc writes: "What do we get if we put together all grapes (of different varieties) from the rural state? What can we do with an almost nonexistent variety? These questions arose when crafting Abrunet Frisach Rose. The union of three varieties so similar yet so different, collected at the same time, reassembled and harmonize together for a day." All the grapes for their rosat come from a single vineyard and are harvested together at the same time.
