Celler de Capcanes is a modern cooperative in the province of Tarragona. Founded in 1933. Aromas of hot wet bitumen road with mint, menthol, herbs. After a while in the decanter a ripe red fruited perfume and a touch of tar. No sign of raspberry which one often gets with new world Grenache. A medium to full bodied palate. The following night the palate was a little “blocky” without much nuance. I’m somewhat non-plussed for the price and reputation. 100% Garnacha; one of the 1001 Wines; approximately 3000 bottles made. Imported into Australia by the wonderfully named “The Spanish Acquisition “. Postscript: The name derives from when the vineyards were abandoned and taken over by goats (cabra means goat). — 4 years ago

Whiff of strawberries and smoky wood, tastes of ripe blackberries, subtle salinity, full-bodied with smooth tannins, then a long umami finish. Delicious with manchego and queso de cabra. — 3 years ago
Hermoso color rosa medio-palido. Tiene olores a frutos rojos, huele a dulce y se siente un poco la acidez en la nariz. El olor es muy fresco y no huele mucho a alcohol. En boca es corto, y fresco, muy ligero. No se siente el alcohol al tomarlo. Predomina el sabor a frambuesa, dulce caramelo en la punta de la lengua y un poco de acidez al tragar. — 4 years ago

The wine is true to type with some fresh herby notes.
