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% old Grenache 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. Of the four wines, this is the ripest and most fruity.

Production: 

Hand harvested during the middle of September, the wine has fermented at a controlled temperature of 24º-28º in 500 L. French oak barrels. Aged for 6 months in medium-light toasted new French oak barrels of 228 L. Light filtration.

Tasting Notes:

Intense dark cherry colour. Good complexity on the nose with intense, mature fruit aromas. Elegant and smooth on the palate, with a very easygoing 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.
