Product Description
Details
This is the new vintage of Acústic, a consistently good Spanish red wine from Monstant.
It is made from 70% Carignan and 30% Grenache, coming from vines 35 to 70 years of age.
The vineyards of the Acustic Celler winery are spread over different locations across the Montsant region. They are planted at an altitude between 300 and 700 metres above sea level, in sandy soils with low levels of organic matter.
The grapes were carefully selected on site, destemmed and cold-soaked for 15 days. Then they were gently crushed and, after 24 hours, the wine must was fermented and transferred into 2nd year French oak barrels, where Acústic 2020 completed malolactic fermentation and was aged for 10-11 months. It was neither filtered nor clarified prior to its bottling.
Decant this red wine from Montsant 30 minutes before drinking.

| Appearance | The red wine Acústic is medium puple with a violet rim. |

| Nose | Aromas of juicy cranberries and mulberries, with hints of spices, balsam and flowers. This blend of Carignan & Grenache also suggests some nice toasted remembrances over a mineral background. |

good
This has been my "table wine" -I just love the expression- for many weeks. It has character, intensity and a good definition.
