The Nit de Garnatxes belongs to a series of four wines that have been elaborated exclusively with the Grenache variety, each sourced from four different types of soils in the Capçanes district: panal, llicorella, argila and calissa.

A terroir wine sourced from 100% Grenache old vines growing on sandy and silty (Panal) soils. Panal soils are a mixture of sandy lands and silts, here, the plants have deep roots that live together with the lime. It gives a dense wine that is sweet and fruity. From the four wines, this is the most ripe and fruity.

Intense dark cherry color. Good complexity on the nose with intense, mature fruit aromas. Elegant and smooth on the palate, with a very easy-going feeling. Suitable for Vegans

Notes: To be enjoyed over the next 3-4 years.

The Winery

Founded in 1933 by five families from the village of Capçanes, who together established a cooperative that would handle large quantities of grapes economically and efficiently. The cooperative bears the name of the village where it is located: Capçanes, a village hidden away in the Priorato hills inland from Tarragona and with a long wine-growing history.
In the 1990s, the company was reinvented as an independent company with its original members as shareholders; today, they have around 130 members and produce a wide selection of high-quality wines, including the well known Peraj Ha’abib, a Kosher wine, under the Montsant appellation.
