Once again Capçanes will surprise you!
Four Soil Types,
4 very different Garnatxes (Grenache wines)…
PANAL (rich limestone-based sandy soils)
100% Old Vines Garnatxa (Grenache)
An easy drinking wine…also easy to understand!
The sandy and loamy soils mean the vines cast their roots deep down into this earth.
Together with chalk deposits found here, these soils create fantastic natural sculptures.
LICORELLA (slate-based soils)
100% Old Vines Garnatxa (Grenache)
A very mineral wine!
The rock suffers from exposure to the heat and cold and breaks up into thin slivers.
The roots penetrate downwards searching for energy.
ARGILA (clay-based soils)
100% Old Vines Garnatxa (Grenache)
A wild wine!
Red and green clays: very compact soils, where the vines suffer and search out ways to reach much needed water as it filters downwards.
CALISSA (limestone-based soils)
100% Old Vines Garnatxa (Grenache)
A refreshing and yet subtle wine!
Fragmented rock which allows the roots to dig downwards in search of water and nutrients.
