White Wine Més Ritme Blanc 2022
Availability: In stock
This unconventional Spanish white wine of Acústic Celler comes from DOQ Priorat. This is a region that, besides producing some bold, world-class red wines, also produces utterly characteristic white wines.
A paradigmatic example, the wine Més Ritme Blanc is a varietal White Grenache wine sourced from 80-year-old vineyards with llicorella (slate) soils.
The grapes were hand-picked, meticulously selected and cold macerated for 48 hours. Then a 30% of this white wine from Priorat was fermented in new French oak barrels, and the rest went through the same process in stainless steel tanks.
After that, the wine Més Ritme Blanc 2022, crafted by the talented Catalan winemaker Albert Jané, was aged on lees for 11 months.
Decant this organic white wine some time before drinking.

Our personal opinion | The exciting wine Més Ritme Blanc 2022 shows why white wines are Priorat's best kept secret. Pair with creamy cheeses and white meat dishes. |
