2008 Capçanes ‘Cabrida’ Garnacha
‘Cabrida’ = mountain goat, and it’s serious goat track territory – grown from 105 y.o. vines on all 4 Montsant soil types at around 500m altitude. A gorgeous nose, perfumed and pure, with sweet and sour cherry, earth and anise-clove spice. Supple, sexy mouthfeel, with rich fruit - cherry, satsuma plum, delicious, silky and fine with great balance. Complex, structured and restrained, very focused. As ‘maker, Jurgen Wagner says: “it’s sexy ... like instant attraction”. Tiny 0.6 kg/vine harvest, 14 months new French oak.
