Let's talk little, let's talk wine
This cuvée is the result of a blend of several grape varieties from old vines aged 40 to 80 years and specific to the Montsant region, in Catalonia. Each grape variety in the Acústic Blanc vintage grows in vineyards between 300 and 700 meters above sea level. The soils are poor, based on sand, stones and clay. The grapes are harvested manually . In the cellar, the pressed juice goes through a skin maceration process which lasts around two days. Then, the estate carries out partial fermentation at low temperature in stainless steel vats and another fermentation in French oak barrels for approximately 3 months. This wine has a subtle aromatic palette with notes of infusion , dried fruits , pear , peach , apricot , lemon tart , honey and white flowers . It has a beautiful mineral imprint , the juice is precise and saline. The palate is powerful but firm and remains distinguished with a length of beautiful bitter notes.
Where are we traveling?
The little history of the country
Spain
The history of wine in Spain is so old that no one really knows who brought the first vines to the region. When the Phoenicians arrived some 3,000 years ago and founded the present-day cities of Cádiz and Jerez, viticulture was well established and Spanish wines were widely marketed throughout the Mediterranean and North Africa. You could say that Spain is a wine miracle. After years spent away from the world of fine wines, she is today a major player. Investment and ambition in the vineyards and cellars results in increasingly rich and complex (often very alcoholic) and spicy reds which are increasingly appreciated by international consumers. Proud to have more land devoted to vines than any other country, Spain is only beginning to capitalize on this resource consistently. Spain is an anarchic tangle of regions and sub-regions, just as its landscape is an anarchic tangle of incredibly raw landscapes. A glance at a map reveals the climatic diversity among Spain's many wine regions, from the soggy green vineyards of Galicia on the northern Atlantic coast to the toasty vineyards of southeastern the Mediterranean. Spain's saving grace, in terms of viticulture, is the average altitude of its vineyards, above 600 meters. A large part of Spanish vineyards therefore manage to produce grapes of good color and acidity simply because night temperatures are relatively low and the grapes do not ripen until the end of a sufficiently long growing period. But there is real treasure to be found for those willing to dig and, now that a class of connoisseurs has developed in Spain, all manner of ambitious investors have done their part to change the image of Spanish wine . Today, a new generation of winemakers has quietly begun making spectacular wines and experimenting with grape varieties that would have been unthinkable just a short time ago. Wine remains an important commodity and is an integral part of Spanish culture.
