"Made under the strict supervision of the Rabbi of Barcelona, Lo Mevushal - Le Pessaj.
Dark, full red yet vibrant colour. Bright aromas of cherry, plums, currant and toasty, coffee, mocha nuances. Complex but elegant, full-bodied, ripe but soft tannins and ripe sweetness on the finish. Well balanced acidity and mineral character with an serious ageing potential. Carignan 35%, Grenache 35%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30%"
In a little village nestled in the dramatic rugged hills of the Catalan countryside is Celler de Capcanes. It was into this wild landscape that Jurgen Wagner walked, in the mid-1990s and never left. Entranced by what he found and the potential at the co-operative, he had no option but to stay.
Over the last 25 years he has breathed energy into this venerable operation, instilling pride in the natural wealth that is their vineyards. The potential of the diverse terroirs in these vineyards is captured and expressed so clearly in the delicious Garnachas and blends that Anna Rovira, the winemaker, and Jurgen together conjure up. As an example of how excitement, focus and dynamism can be bred into a co-operative born in the early 20th Century, Capcanes shines.
