Freixenet - The Key To Reserva

Freixenet – The Key To Reserva »

Andrew Barrow

25 Apr

As a follow-up to a rather enjoyable trip to Barcelona and Freixenet I’ve been delving into the delights of a memory stick. One of the files hidden within its virtual depths made mention of the famed ‘star-studded advertising campaigns’ produced by Freixenet, specifically one from 2007 that I’ve not seen or heard of before; probably because it was never shown in the UK. Certainly worth ten minutes of your time to appreciate the joyous quality of ‘Freixenet The Key To Reserva…’

I also like the second video with its quirky 1950′s style that manages to take in a little grape harvesting and underground riddling too.

That first one is brilliant, really want a glass now! You say there are more like that? Where would one find them?

  I just did a search on youtube; Freixenet doesn’t seem to have its own ‘channel’ to follow.

Wine Tasting Tuscan Style

Opening with the ‘basic’ wines he was almost apologetic at their simplicity. Personally I found them a delight; no idea of price at the time (the top of the range comes in at a very reasonable €20 cellar door) but to a bottle these ‘lesser’ wines were lovely, offering a balanced richness, a true regional acidic streak in the RI.VA.LE Chianti and a touch riper, softer palate to the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
