Product Description
Details

Produced by Celler de Capçanes, the red wine Costers del Gravet comes from Montsant.

This blended Spanish red wine is made from Carignan, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon

The vines are 15 to 60 years of age. They are planted on terraces composed of slate and limestone soils and located at altitudes between 300 and 500 metres.

Harvested by hand, the grapes were separately fermented according to the variety. Alcoholic fermentation of this vegan red wine took place in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation started in the tanks and was finished in new and 2nd year French oak barrels. Then this Montsant red wine was aged in the barrels for 12 months.

Finally, the red wine Costers del Gravet 2021 was aged for a further 3 months in diposits to round it.

Aerate this Crianza red wine  30 minutes before drinking.

Appearance

Nose

This interesting blend of Carignan, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon suggests complex notes of red fruit, combined with aromas of balsam, spices, toast and aromatic herbs over a mineral background.

Palate

Bold and intense, this red wine of the Celler de Capçanes winery has a solid mineral skeleton that sustains juicy notes of red fruit, garrigue and spices. Smooth tannins, crisp acidity and long, earthy finish.

Our personal opinion

A phenomenal value from Montsant, the red wine Costers del Gravet 2021 pairs excellently with meat dishes and casseroles, but also drinks nicely without food.
