2024 Capcanes, Montsant, Peraj Petita(Kosher)

Celler de Capçanes leverages its long-standing cooperative model to source fruit from ancient, high-altitude vineyards throughout the Montsant appellation, where distinct slate, granite, and clay soils define the structural potential of the grapes. The winemaking team emphasizes a technical, controlled approach—vinifying under strict rabbinical supervision to maintain high-quality standards—that favors precise temperature management and careful extraction in stainless steel vats. The 2024 vintage, characterized by a challenging growing season with variable rainfall and humidity, necessitated rigorous vineyard management to ensure optimal phenolic maturity, ultimately yielding a profile marked by tension and focus. This blend of Garnacha, Merlot, Tempranillo, Syrah, and Carignan exhibits a dense, mid-palate structure balanced by fine-grained tannins and a persistent, mineral-driven finish. By steering the process to favor structural integrity over sheer extraction, the resulting wine reflects the rugged, steep topography of the Priorat hills.
