Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2023 Acústic Blanc is from one of the most challenging years of recent times, when they got 50% to 70% yields compared with a 'normal' year. It was produced with a blend of 89% Garnatxa Blanca, 7% Macabeu, 2% Pansal and 2% Garnatxa Roja that ripened to 15% alcohol but kept good acidity. It fermented and matured in different materials, stainless steel, oak foudres, amphorae, concrete eggs and new 300- and 400-liter French oak barrels. It has a strong medicinal and balsamic nose with even a minty hint and echoes of cloves. The palate is round and lush with chalky minerality. 23,416 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2024.

Description
Acústic Blanc, a D.O. Montsant wine, is a pure expression of traditional, indigenous viticulture. This wine stands out for its focus on the use of old vines and winemaking practices that respect the essence of the grape. The varieties used in its composition include 93% Garnacha Blanca, which gives it structure and character, 5% Macabeo, which adds finesse and fruitiness, 1% Pansal, which contributes to its structure and ageing capacity, and 1% Garnacha Roja, which adds exotic aromas and freshness.
Winemaking
Acústic Blanc is made with a deep respect for the grape, seeking the varietal expressiveness of these indigenous grapes. A pellicular maceration is carried out at 8-10 °C for two days, followed by fermentation and ageing on the lees for 7 months. This process is carried out in a combination of stainless steel tanks (40%), French oak vats (20%), amphorae (10%), cement egg (10%) and new 300 and 400 litre French oak barrels (20%).
Taste
Acústic Blanc is characterised by a complex and savoury flavour, with good acidity and a fruity character. Its colour is a bright straw colour, and its aroma is a complex and expressive blend of wild Mediterranean herbs such as fennel and rosemary, together with fresh fruit, citrus and white flowers. This wine is a true poetry of petals and love, reflecting the essence of its wise vineyards and the majestic surroundings of the Montsant mountain range.
