Potente (Celler de Capçanes) Description
Eva López met Capçanes viticultors in Montsant area and from the beginning she knew she had found people who really produce wines true to their origins using indigenous grape varieties.. Capçanes is located 100 miles southwest of Barcelona, 20 miles inland from the Mediterranean sea, is the heart of a long wine growing history dating back to the middle ages.
She made the decision to develop POTENTE project in this incredible area in Catalonia making a blend of garnacha, merlot, samsó & syrah that shows the truth of the typicality and elegance of this area created by small plots, hard inclinations and sustainable agriculture in the typical terraces. Neal Martin said once “If Priorat is Pauillac then Montsant is Margaux”.
Tasting Note: Impressive purity wine that reveals vivacity and depth. Wild red and black berry flavors, cherry, spices and crushed rocks. A serious wine at an extremely friendly price.
Wine Pairing: Chili con carne, barbecued beef with dry marinade, duck salad with strawberries, filet mignon with peppercorn sauce, mixed grill of beef, sausage and chicken, rib-eye steak with parmesan and salad, moussaka.
Vinous: 90 Points
Limpid ruby. Spice-accented red fruit and floral scents show good clarity and energy. Juicy, focused and light on its feet, offering zesty red currant and bitter cherry flavors that turn sweeter through the midpalate. Finishes long and smooth, with subtle tannins coming in late.
