Red Wine Ritme 2021
Availability: In stock
Produced by Albert Jané, a young, but already prestigious Catalan winemaker, the wine Ritme is the entry-level Spanish red wine of the Acústic Celler.
The 2021 vintage is composed of 45% Carignan (coming from 40-year-old vines,) and 55% Grenache, sourced from old vineyards.
The vineyards are planted on the trademark llicorella (slate) soils in different areas within the DOQ Priorat. After a traditional vinification, this Crianza red wine was aged for 10 months in light toast French oak barrels
Not filtered or clarified before bottling, the wine Ritme 2021 will greatly benefit from some aeration.
Pair this red wine from Priorat with stews and hearty recipes.
Appearance | The red wine Ritme is medium ruby with a violet rim. |
---|---|
Nose | Intense aromas of fresh blackberries and damson, combined with remembrances of violets, spices and balsam over an intensely mineral background, typical of a blend of Carignan and Grenache. |
Palate | Pleasant and juicy, this Priorat red wine from Acústic Celler has a smooth texture and an bridled intensity. Remembrances of menthol, bramble fruit and some mineral and balsamic nuances. Well-balanced acidity, savoury tannins and long finish with some remembrances of Mediterranean garrigue. |
Our personal opinion | Fresh and characteristic, the wine Ritme 2021 by talented winemaker Albert Jané is an exceedingly versatile wine. |
