Costers del Gravet

Celler de Capçanes Costers del Gracet 2012 is a red wine from DO Montsant prepared by the Celler de Capçanes winery. This wine blend uses Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Grenache (30%) and Carignan (20%).

The grapes come from vineyards between 15 and 60 years old located at an altitude of between 200 and 550 metres. The vines, and the final taste of wine, benefit from the diversity of soils in which they grow. They are limestone, slate and clay.

The harvest is done manually and the grapes then undergo a double selection process. Alcoholic fermentation occurs at a controlled temperature of between 27º and 29º.

Maceration, which lasts two to three weeks, is followed by malolactic fermentation in tank. It begins and ends in barrel. The wine is finally aged for twelve months in French oak barrels. Cellers Capçanes is named after the town in Priorat, in the province of Tarragona, in which it is located. This winery is a cooperative which currently has 125 members and was established in 1933 by a few houses in the area.

The winery aims to make wines following the teachings that have been passed down in each family, this was the first winery in Spain who produced kosher wine.
