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
Surprisingly dark color. A bit on the sweeter side until the wine opens up. But good balance with nice level of acidity. Enjoy now — 6 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

Una añada, calificada como excelente, que presentan una buena intensidad colorante, importantes notas frutales en nariz y un potencial tánico alto en boca con taninos dulces que indican la buena maduración fenólica de las bayas.
Excelente para un buen queso de Cabra o un buen plato de fiambre... — 6 years ago

A la vista un Champagne amarillo oro transparente y elegante con burbujas grandes y centradas, en nariz notas de mantequilla, pan tostado, lima, piña, manzana verde, miel y en boca todas las anteriores pero resalta la manzana verde y la miel. Excelente champagne nada seco. Maride con palomitas de maíz con mantequilla, caramelo y queso, queso cremoso de cabra y todo muy rico — 6 years ago
