Red Wine Mas Vilella 2016

This hedonistic Mediterranean red, Mas Vilella, is produced by Acústic Celler basically from Cabernet Sauvignon, with a small amount of the exceedingly interesting indigenous Sumoll variety.

The Cabernet vineyards are located in the Mas Vilella estate, near La Bisbal del Penedès. The low-yielding vines are about 30 years old and are planted in the foothills of the Montmell mountains, at an altitude between 220 and 280 metres above sea level. Soils are composed of sand and limestone.

The grapes were picked by hand and macerated for over a period of 15 days. Then this Spanish red wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature.

Once the process was completed, Mas Vilella 2016 was transferred into new French oak barrels, where it underwent a partial malolactic fermentation and was aged for 12 months.
