La Nit de les Garnatxes

Limestone, Garnatxa

100% Garnacha

Medium cherry color. Floral and red fruit aromas on the nose. On the palate it emphasizes those fragrant floral notes that stand out over the cherries and red currant. The acidity this wine holds keeps it fresh and vibrant.

The freshness and acidity from this Garnacha of Limestone soil is beautifully paired with duck, venison and pork roasted plates, where the acidity cuts nicely through the fat of this plates. Honey roasted veggies and cremes are outstanding companions as well.

WINE & SPIRITS 2020

  • La Nit de les Garnatxes Limestone/Calissa 2018: 93ptsFrom 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

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.”
