La Nit de les Garnatxes

Intense cherry color. Aromatic complexity, on the nose and in the mouth: aromas of red fruit, plums and blackberries, and florals notes. Undertone of clove, black pepper, spices. The most delicate, elegant and fresh expression of Grenache.

Vinous by Antonio Galloni 2024:

• La Nit de les Garnatxes Limestone 2023: 90 points. “Aged for six months in used oak barrels, this purple-hued wine offers aromas of violets and roses, with hints of black tea, balsamic and undergrowth. Fairly indulgent, the taut, chalky palate leads to a mildly concentrated mouthfeel and a caramel finish. This Garnatxa resembles a Pinot Noir with a Mediterranean essence”.
  

WineSpectator 2024:

• La nit de les Garnatxes Calissa 2023: 90 points. “This compact red is light- to medium-bodied, with minerally smoke and hot stone notes underscoring Damson plum and black raspberry fruit flavors, plus licorice, olive tapenade and coffee notes. Fresh and chewy, this should show well with barbecue and meat on the grill. Garnatxa”.

Tasted by Andreas Larsson, 2024:

• La Nit de les Garnatxes Limestone 2023: 91 points. “Light to medium deep ruby red colour. Some toast notes, fresh red berries, plum, aniseed and garrigue notes. Fresh and vibrant palate, rounded texture and grainy tannin, savoury and fresh red berry notes with a fine length and purity.”

WINE & SPIRITS 2020

• La Nit de les Garnatxes Limestone/Calissa 2018: 93pts “From a Cooperative founded in 1933, this wine is part of a line meant to showcase Garnacha grown in different soils. This bottling, from parcels rooted in limestone, is deep, dark and rich in plum and blackberry flavors. Its intense tannins scream for a fatty steak; decant it before you heat up the grill to release more of its peppery and rosy notes.”

JAMES SUCKLING 2020

• La Nit de les Garnatxes Limestone/Calissa 2018: 92pts “Dried-berry, black-cherry, slate and some clove aromas follow through to a medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a flavorful finish with hints of chocolate. Drink now.”

The wine advocate 2016:

• La Nit dels Garnatxes Limestone/Calissa 2015: 88 Points. The wine is intensely fruity and young, with a bit of a raw nose reminiscent of young must. It’s fresh and straightforward, with fine 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.”
