Like many Catalan wineries, Acustic Celler is a modest project founded by a passionate young winemaker who quite literally has the region’s wines running in his blood. In 2003 Albert Jané started his own winery in a 200-year old cellar in the tiny town of Marçà and began to piece together vineyard plots across the renowned Montsant and Priorat wine regions.
Today he works with a variety of 35 to 105 year old vines which are all farmed organically and harvested by hand to produce the best wines possible from this harsh land. Ritme is Albert’s youngest red Priorat wine which is made with 70% Garnacha and 30% Carinena grapes sourced from vines which are up to 80 years old. These old vines give incredible intensity and richness to the wine along with a distinctive minerality from the slate soils which are so typical of the Priorat region.
As soon as you open and serve this wine you will notice the seductive juicy red fruit aromas and hints of toast and sweet spices from the 10 months of ageing in oak. In the mouth the wine is incredibly smooth with gentle tannins and concentrated fruit flavours which make it an excellent partner for cured meats, hard cheeses or hearty stews.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
