Ritme Celler is a personal project of Albert Jané  of Jané Ventura in D.O. Penedés and Acústic Celler of D.O. Montsant.  It all started in 2003 when he acquired some old native vineyards in the D.O. Montsant. Once more maintains his philosophy, respecting the traditional viticulture of the region and the values of the fruit, with no attempt to give pride of place to the wood,  great respect to nature, avoiding excessive use of technology and allowing the vines to express their individual characteristics.

Tasting Notes:  Beautifully-intense aromas of ripe fruits, dark cherries and licorice, with rich scents of wild herbs, floral and marked by the characteristic spicy and mineral hints. Warm and generous, full-bodied and soft textured nicely supported by fine well-integrated tannins.

Note: It is recommended letting the wine breathe or decanting before serving. Drink now – 2028
