White Wine Acústic Blanc Magnum 2021
Availability: In stock
Produced by the Acústic Celler winery, Acústic Blanc Magnum is a blended Spanish white wine from Montsant in a 1.5-litre bottle, a feature that makes it perfect for a long ageing period in your home cellar.
It is made mostly from White Grenache and Macabeo, combined with tiny amounts of Pansal (a local clone of the Xarel·lo grape) and Garnatxa Roja (also known as Grey Grenache, a variety indigenous to northern Catalonia.)
Harvested by hand, the grapes were selected and macerated undestemmed for two days. Then a 70% of this white wine from Montsant was fermented on its lees in stainless steel tanks, while the remaining 30% was fermented and then aged in new French oak barrels for 3 months. After that, the wine was aged for some months in the fermentation tanks.
Finally, Acústic Magnum Magnum 2021 was blended and aged for a further months in the cellar prior to its commercial release.
We suggest that you decant this organic white wine 20 minutes before you drink it.
Appearance | The white wine Acústic Blanc Magnum is medium straw with some greenish tinges and a steely rim. |
---|---|
Nose | This blend of White Grenache, Macabeo, Pansal (Xarel·lo) and Grey Grenache conveys some lively notes of white fruit, some remembrances of tropical fruit and touches of citrus, garrigue, flowers, wet earth and mineral. Remarkably complex. |
Palate | Remarkable structure, with focus and excellent balance. This wine from Acústic Celler is fresh and unctuous, displaying flavours of white fruit and tropical fruit, some smokey hints and some spicy and balsamic undertones. Tense acidity and long, silky, mineral finish. |
Our personal opinion | Smooth, nuanced, terroir-orientated, Acústic Blanc 2021 Magnum is one of the best white wines produced in Montsant. |
