DO Montsant
Organic Wine
Varieties: 10% Garnatxa which brings refinement, fruit and complexity and 90% Carinyena which gives colour, structure and masculinity to the wine.
Tasting Notes
Complexity and elegance.
It has a generous bouquet of mineral, chalky aromas and hints of balsamic notes. The palate is rich, deep, with succulent red currant and wild strawberry fruit. The tannins are rounded and sensual with a confit-like finish that is irresistible. Superb long after taste.
Pairing
Perfect to accompany small game and poultry dishes, such as duck magret, and grilled cepas edulis.

BRAÓ ORIGIN.
The philosophy to create this wine is based on the beautiful wisdom of the ancient vineyards of native varieties and also the tradition of the ancient winegrowers.
This wine is the result of a romantic selection of old vineyards of 60-80 year old that produce really low yield. This
scarce fruit is full of expressivity and singularity.
This wine is a tribute to these ancient vineyards. It is thanks to their work and suffering that is possible the creation of superb wines like Braó.
Braó was a word very used in the past in the countryside areas and means “valour, courage, strength”. This is what I feel from these vineyards when I see them after 70 or 80 years they are still there, fighting against everything to offer their scare but unique fruit.
VINEYARD.
Wine made from 60-80 year old vineyards of Garnatxa and Carinyen from 3 different states of Marçà, Capçanes, Serra d’Almos, el Masroig, Cornudella de Montsant and Siurana located close to the beautiful Montsant mountain. The altitude of the vineyards is from 300 to 700 metres.
There is harsh and barren stony sandy with clay soils and also with rolling stones. The wine is the result of 10%
Garnatxa that gives fragance, fruitiness and complexity to the wine and 90% Carinyena that gives colour, body and
some ripe red fruit flavours.
WINE MAKING.
Harvesting the grape when it is fully ripe and have achieved the complete tannin ripeness. Harvest by hand picking the grape up in 20 kg cases. Selection by hand in the vineyard and during unloading to the destemming machine in the cellar.
Then 15 days of maceration with the skin with several “pigeage “every day. Pressing using a small vertical wooden
pressing machine. After pressing the wine is racked with its lees to the barrels which are in the underground old tanks to start the malolactic fermentation. Aged during 12 months in new and 1 year old low toasted French oak barrels. No fining neither filtering to keep the natural expressivity of the wine.
IDENTITY.
Natural label where there is a drawing which can be the shape of the old vines or the cristalls of the minerality
of the wine… depending on the acoustic feeling of oneself.
Acústic Celler
Acoustic wines
When we call a wine ‘acoustic’, rather than electric, we are talking about a wine which seeks out and reclaims the roots, individuality and values of traditional viticulture. Produced using only local varieties (Garnatxa Negra, Peluda, red and white Carinyena, Macabeu and Pansal) as opposed to the “globalisation” of many wines which are so cosmetic and created using international varieties. We believe that traditional varieties are best suited to express the character and identity of this land and its culture. We seek to convey all the individuality, history, landscape and personality of Montsant. The philosophy is clear: acoustic wines, vineyard wines, unique wines, pure wines, imperfect wines, “unplugged”, non-cosmetic wines, based on the strength and uniqueness of the old vines.
