For those not yet convinced, the red wine Auditori proves again that Spain is the paradise of Grenache.
This varietal Spanish red wine from Acústic Celler is sourced from three plots with different soil compositions; namely, sand, rocks, clay and slate. They are planted with 70 to 90-year-old vines.
The grapes were manually harvested, macerated, fermented in stainless steel tanks and gently pressed. Then this Crianza red wine from DO Montsant was transferred into 2nd to 4th year French oak barrels, where it completed malolactic fermentation and was aged for 12 months.
Prior to its bottling, the red wine Auditori 2020 was not filtered or clarified.
Decant this organic red wine at least 2 hours before drinking.
2,723 bottles produced.
Although it still remains under the radar, this red wine from Montsant is slowly getting the critical recognition it deserves, as proven by its stupendous Decanter scores.
| Appearance | The red wine Auditori Vinyes Velles is deep purple with some bluish glints. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Deep, intrincate and full of drama, this old-vines Grenache carries some pristine aromas of cranberries, raspberries and redcurrants, intertwined with enticing mineral undertones, remembrances of menthol, garrigue and spices, and a touch of blue flowers, black truffles and resin. |
| Palate | Expressive, seductive and packed with flavour. This red wine from Acústic celler is toothsome and intensely mineral, with exceptional acidity and layer of garrigue and aromatic herbs which simply screams Mediterranean. The wine conveys a real sense of place, with powdery tannins and a long, memorable finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Once again, winemaker Albert Jané has done an outstanding job. The red wine Auditori 2020 is remarkable. |
