Spain > Montsant

Surrounding the famous region of Priorat in Catalonia, the wines from the mountainous countryside of Montsant represent fabulous values. Capcanes is the landmark producer of the region producing concentrated wines from low-yielding old vines. The Vall de Calas is a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Tempranillo and 10% Garnacha and is aged 12 months in French Oak barrels. The result is a deeply colored wine, ripe, rich and smoky with concentrated layers of dark fruit- perfect with a stew or a roast on a cold winters night!

Officially approved by Madrid as a D.O. in August 2001, this area is no longer known as D.O. Tarragona. With good reason, Montsant is more similar to Priorat. In fact, Montsant is named after a mountain that lies within the Priorat D.O and while similar there are a few differences. Loose red sands and limestone are the predominate vineyard soils instead of the black slate of Priorat. But like it's cousin, Monsant boasts dry reds that are concentrated, deep red, and with high alcohol content.
