    Somm Note

    Winemaker Notes

    A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Grenache, and 20% Cariñena.

    Deep red ruby in color. Complex aromas of ripe cherry fruit; plums, small black berries, vanilla, smoky, and toasty oak flavors. Full bodied with soft tannins and wonderful fresh acidity. Ripe but not overly so, fine glycerin sweetness and good length.

    "Inky ruby. Spicy redcurrant and cherry aromas, complemented by smoky tobacco and pungent herbs. Sweet red and dark fruit flavors are gently framed by silky tannins and given spine by fresh minerality. All red fruits on the finish, which displays impressive clarity and sneaky length. This is drinking well now."

    Celler de Capcanes, Spain
    Celler de Capcanes Winery Image
    High up in the hill, roughly 30 miles inland from Tarragona and 100 miles to the south of Barcelona, lies the village of Capcanes, in the sub-zone of the Tarragona DO called Falset. Essentially, this sub-zone is continuous with the Priorat DO, and the wines from this area have more in common with the wines of Priorato than they do with those from the plains around Tarrragano itself.

    Viticulture
    At Capcanes, the altitude ranges from 300 meters to 700 meters, and natural rainfalls is low at around 450 mm. The average temperature in this Mediterranean region is around 15 C and rises to 35 C in the summer. Soil in the lower vineyards is deep, rich and fertile; the higher vineyards and all the terraces are on poor, mineral , stony soils with a granite or slate base. Under the guidance of the two winemakers, Angel Teixado and Antoni Alcover, owner/winemaker of Fra Fulco. Capcanes has progressed to a level of serious quality among Spanish reds, and offers tremendous value.

    Vinification
    New cellars were built to accommodate new temperature controlled stainless fermentation tanks and 600 new oak barrels, of which about 30% are French. Along with the introduction of a new bottling line, the packaging has been updated, reflecting the new breed of wine produced at Capcanes.

    Spanish red wine is known for being bold, heady, rustic and age-worthy, Spain is truly a one-of-a-kind wine-producing nation. A great majority of the country is hot, arid and drought-ridden, and since irrigation has only been recently introduced and (controversially) accepted, viticulture has sustained—and flourished—only through a great understanding of Spain’s particular conditions. Large spacing between vines allows each enough resources to survive and as a result, the country has the most acreage under vine compared to any other country, but is usually third in production.

    Of the Spanish red wines, the most planted and respected grape variety is Tempranillo, the star of Spain’s Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions. Priorat specializes in bold red blends, Jumilla has gained global recognition for its single varietal Monastrell and Utiel-Requena has garnered recent attention for its reds made of Bobal.
