Bodegas Acústic
This tiny production from very old vines in the DO of Montsant (neighbouring Priorat) is the pet project of Albert Jané Ubeda and his wife. Planted with Garnatxa (Garnacha) and Samso (Cariñena) the vines are between 25 and 70 years old, in harsh and stony soils of sand and stones. Albert's philosophy is to create wines that 'express and revindicate the quality and singularity of the traditional viticulture against the globalisation of the international varieties and modern wine making style'. Hand picked grapes, traditional vinification (small wooden press), prudent use of oak, and bottling without fining or filtration, make these two of the most exciting and expressive wines we have tasted from this upcoming region.
Other reviews and comments
Acustic is establishing itself as one of the finer producers in the up-and-coming region of Montsant. The wines are made from the indigenous varieties of the region with vine age ranging from 40-100 years.

2009 ACÚSTIC Vinyes Velles Nobles Bodegas Acústic
Montsant Spain
Made of Garnatxa (Garnacha) and Samso (Cariñena) from 35 to 65 year old vineyards planted in the hills of Montsant, this is one of the most authentic wines we have found from Spain. With an intensely rich deep colour, and concentrated sweet aromatic fruit, this is a wonderfully expressive wine that reflects both the harshness of the region - the vines having to work hard for survival in the dry, stony soil - as well as the quality and singularity...

2010 ACÚSTIC BLANC Bodegas Acústic
Montsant Catalunya Spain
Blend of old vines Garnacha Blanca, Macabeo, Garnacha Gris and Pansal. Partly fermented in French oak 'barriques' for three months. Wonderful texture with powerfully structured fruit (almost Rhone and Viognier like) yet very fresh and uplifting on the finish. Would be sensational with lobster!

2006 BRAO Vinyes Velles Nobles Bodegas Acústic
Montsant Spain
Similar blend to the Acustic (Garnatxa and Samso), but made from the oldest vineyards, between 60 and 70 years old, the oldest recorded having been planted in 1932. The yields here are tiny, as little as 700 grammes of fruit per vine, making for a wine of great intensity. While the Acustic is dominated by young fruit aromas, the Brao is more herbal and spicy. A concentrated wine which is at the same time elegant and fine, with sweet notes and tremendous... (more info)

Montsant Spain
Very old vines Garnacha, aged twelve months in one year old French 'barriques'. Richly concentrated, sweet nectar-like fruit, incredibly long and enough fresh acidity to keep the wine uplifting on the finish. Impressive. Needs plenty of time.
