Acústic Celler
Albert Jané Ubeda is a man who hears the music of his vineyards. For him the greatest acoustic music requires no electronic manipulation and he uses this same hands off approach in his “acoustic cellar” or Acústic Celler, crafting native grape varieties into pure, expressive, unencumbered wines that beautifully represent the Montsant region of Tarragona. All of Acústic Celler’s wines are made from organically farmed, native grape varieties, cultivated from small plots of old vines which are between 35 and 100 years-old. Albert works with vineyards from many different locations in Montsant, looking for the complexity of the terroir and the different expressions gained through elevation and exposition.
Although Acustic was founded only as recently as 2004, Albert has 17ha of his own vines in Montsant and leases a further 25ha both of which are predominantly planted with the red Garnacha (Grenache) and Cariñena (Carignan, but known as Samsó here) varieties and with a small percentage of the white varieties Garnacha Blanca (Grenache Blanc), Macabeo (Viura) and Garnacha Gris (Grenache Gris).
Through fermentation using natural yeasts and a cautious use of French oak, the wines of Acustic show the incredible fruit, power and terroir of DO Montsant. The barrels used to age the wines help the wines achieve maturity without hiding the character of the grapes from which they have been made.
