Cabrida

Color vermell robí brillant de mitjana-baixa intensitat. De gran expressió aromàtica, amb melmelada de gerds i notes florals i a herbes de muntanya que li donen un perfil fresc i perfumat. En boca també és delicat i envolvent. Molt ben definit amb fruita de grosella i una nota vibrant de gerds; el fons és floral i fresc. Tanins suaus i elegants, el roure s’integra al vi donant un pas en boca rodó i delicat. Cabrida és l’expressió pura i elegant de la garnatxa negra de vinya vella.

Vinous by Antonio Galloni 2024:

• Cabrida 2022: 92 punts. “Garnatxa varietal, Cabrida 2022 prové de vinyes de 100 anys del Montsant. El vi presenta un bouquet d’herbes juntament amb aromes de violeta i pebre blanc. Mostra tensió al paladar, els tanins lleugerament pungents, creen una estructura compacta amb una expressió una mica indòmita. Guanyarà molt em ampolla, ja que el vaig tastar només dues setmanes després de l’embotellat”.

Ferran Centelles, Guia Tapas 2024:

• Cabrida 2022: 94 punts. “Cabrida prové de garnatxes negres molt velles, situades a la DO Montsant. En nas és expressiu, amb notes florals, i, en boca, els fruits vermells madurs aporten gran sabor. Sumat a uns tanins suaus i a una fusta molt integrada, fan que Cabrida fos reconegut com el Millor Vi de Catalunya en els premis Vinari 2022. Cabrida és el millor vi de la millor cooperativa de Catalunya”.

Pedro Ballesteros MW (Club Oenologique) 2024:

• Cabrida 2022: 95 punts. “Probablement el millor Cabrida fins ara, mostra una gran delicadesa tant en nas com en boca. Molt ben definit, amb fruita de grosella i una alegre nota de gerds. El roure s’integra hàbilment en el vi, mostrant-se discret per a una sensació en boca rodona i delicada. Profund i suau, possiblement una mica càlid, amb un final llarg. Un dels millors vins de la regió. Encara millorarà amb els anys, però no veig la necessitat d’esperar i no gaudir-lo ara”.

• Cabrida 2021: 95 punts. “Una garnatxa increïblement delicada i vivaç procedent de ceps d’entre 60 i 110 anys de diverses vinyes dels voltants de Capçanes. Floral, afruitat i deliciosament herbaci; fruita de maduixa brillant, anís, pebre blanc, violetes i lleugers tocs d’herbes assaonades. Calcari, fresc i molt saborós. Aquesta és una deliciosa ampolla de Garnatxa. 2022-2032.”

Vinum Magazin

• Cabrida 2018: 16,5/20 pts. “When young, the Cabrida has an enormous sweetness that melts over time. The berry and cherry aromas are clear and precise despite their ripeness, the wood is solid on the palate, roasted walnut shells and mocha. Still needs time to find each other. Will find balance and delicacy.“
• Cabrida 2016: 16,5/20 pts. “Powerful, single-variety Grenache from 60 – 110 year old bush vines with 15% alcohol, matured in new French wood for 12 months, medium and slightly toasted, bottled unadorned. Wonderful berries, cherries, wild herbs, great freshness, excellently integrated wood.”

  Medium deep ruby red colour. High ripeness on the nose with jammed red berries, plum, floral hints and mild spices. An unctuous and bold texture with sweet fruit flavours, a nice bite of freshness thanks to plenty of finely shaped tannins and a very long finish. Still a bit youthful and unresolved but should develop truly well.

Concentrated yet digest with good drinkability.

James Suckling tasting 2018:

• Cabrida 2016: 94p. Joyful nose of fresh raspberries, summer flowers and a hint of clove. Concentrated ripe fruit, beautifully crafted tannins that sit so neatly within this wide frame. Great balance of sweet and dry, warm and cool elements. Delicious now, but with very good aging potential.

The wine advocate 2016:

• Cabrida 2014: 92 Points. The 2014 Cabrida already shows the new direction for the estate—especially for 2015—towards finer, more complex and delicate wines with judicious use of oak and more fruit-driven and fresh. Those seem like deep changes, and this pure old vine Garnacha is the blend of many micro-vinifications in open 500-liter oak barrels with some floral and wild berry aromas, and a core of sweet spices and earth. The palate is quite delicate, with a fine texture, with chalky tannins and good freshness.

“It seems like some deep changes have happened at the cooperative of Capçanes with a new technical team and a new direction towards finer, more complex and delicate wines with judicious use of oak, fruit-driven and fresher.”
