Cellars Capçanes, D.O. Montsant
Capçanes is, and isn't, a co-op wine. Capçanes is the name of a small village, south-east of the region's main town, Falset. The winery is the co-op of Capçanes the village. But this is no co-op winery! Run by a visionary German, Jurgen Wagner, Capçanes makes estate-style wine from within a co-op system. Extraordinarily strict selection criteria for fruit sees the co-op's yield classified into six distinct tiers, with reward per kg increasing significantly at each step up the pyramid.

Red fruits, subtle smoky black tea and geranium florals drive a savoury and restrained nose with beautifully tempered fruitiness. The palate is expressive with some glycerol, but really dry (3 g/l residual sugar), with fruit tannin and soft, earthy acidity cutting the wine across as well as along the palate - really nicely framed rosehip and wild roses and a bit of maraschino cherry. Yum! 80% Garnacha, with Syrah and Merlot. |
