Braó Vinyes Velles is a red wine from the D.O. Montsant produced by the winery Acústic Celler in Marça (Tarragona).
The winery was founded in 2004 by Albert Jané, a renowned catalan winemaker who set out to carry out personal and independent viticulture that departs from the existing conventional and excessively modernized winemaking.
Braó Vinyes Velles is a blend of two different grape varieties: Garnacha and Cariñena. The grapes come from vineyards planted over 80 years old, situated at altitudes between 300 and 600 metres on stony soils poor in organic matter. Due to their age, the vineyards have very low production, resulting in grapes with richer aromas and very concentrated must.
In regards to the winemaking process, following the fermentation and maceration at controlled temperatures, the wine is aged for 13 months in new and first year French oak barrels.
Braó expresses a certain strength, courage and valour of the old vineyards from which is comes, that against all odds produces a unique and authentic grape.
