Acustic Montsant (carinena & Garnacha)
| Vintage: | 2018 |

| Description: | Practicing Organic. 70% Carinena & 30% Garnacha. Wine Advocate 91 Points - "The eponymous red 2018 Acstic is a blend of 70% Cariena and 30% Garnacha from across Montsant and matured in used barrels for nine to 10 months. It's not a light wine, at 15% alcohol, but it has compensating acidity. The nose is quite fruit-driven, the ripeness is restrained for the alcohol level, the oak is neatly integrated, and the wine is juicy and tasty, with polished tannins and nice balance.". Penin Spanish Wine Guide 93 Points - "Ripe fruit, fruit preserve, tobacco, sweet spices.round tannins, long.". Working organically since his first vintage in 2004, all the grapes are hand-picked. Vinification is traditional (small wooden press), there is a very prudent use of oak 'a good barrel is a barrel you cannot taste' says Albert, it should 'help the wine express itself not actually add its own mark to the juice'. All wines are then bottled without fining or filtration, making them the most exciting and expressive wines we have tasted from this upcoming region. 80% Carignan, 20% Garnacha 10 months in 1-3 year old French oak barrels 40-75 year old vines Primary violets, black cherry, raspberry, herbs & oak, palate has vim & vigour, rich, broad black fruits, fennel, floral, plum and dark chocolate |
