Nestled between the rugged hills of the Catalan countryside, in the tiny village of the same name, is the well-respected Celler de Capçanes. It was the wild Montsant landscape that first captivated Jürgen Wagner back in the early 1990s, but it was the huge potential he recognized in this unique village co-operative. For the Mas Collet, they work mainly with Garnacha, but also with Samsó (Carinyena/ Cariñena), Tempranillo, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Macabeo and Garnacha Blanca vineyards scattered over sites on the hills that rise up around the village at altitudes ranging from around 250 to 550 metres. Temperature controlled fermentation (26-29º). All varieties were vinified separately in stainless steel tanks. Maceration for 8-16 days. Ageing in old oak then 6 months in tank before bottling.
Tasting Note: Made from Garnacha 30%, Samsó 30%, Cabernet Sauvignon 20%. A deep red colour with flecks of violet and ripe cherry flavours and blueberries on the nose. Smooth well integrated oaky, toasty aromas. Medium bodied, fruit driven, fine ripe sweetness with good acidity which is perfectly balanced with the round ripe tannins culminating in a long ripe fruit driven finish.
Food match: Lamb, entrecote or game casseroles.
