The Wine The Wine
Spain
Region:Montsant
The Cabrida takes pride of place in every wine cellar in the small village of Capçanes. Practically all of the inhabitants of this Catalonian village work with the winery in some way, so all are more than familiar with the Capçanes range, from bottom to top. And Cabrida sits right at the top. It's made with the best Garnacha available, vines of between 60 and 110 years of age that yield very little quantity but the absolute pinnacle of quality. Decadent and saturated plum and cherry with complex herbal and floral aromatics. The palate is toasty and structured yet pure and fresh. A gorgeous match to richly flavoured roasted meats, and a superb ability to age for 15 years plus.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Anna Rovira
Anna, an amazing, talented Catalan winemaker, joined Capçanes in 2013. She is also in charge of vineyard control moving Capçanes into organic farming. Anna studied winemaking in Spain and France, and spent half her childhood in her family's vineyards. She is the much needed and highly appreciated feminine element to the team. She favours finesse and elegance, whilst adding a refreshing craziness to our wines - a privilege of her youth. "I love wine, I work with wine. Wine keeps me on the lookout for new things and surprises me daily."
"Great with lamb chops, roasted lamb with herbs, or crispy duck breast. It has both the fruit intensity to stand up to powerful flavours but the freshness to cut through the fat." - Anna Rovira, Winemaker.
