Drinking Window: 2019 - 2023
Founded in 1933 in the tiny village of Capçanes, in southern Priorat, this exciting co-op is now owned and run by 80 local families. While better known for its reds from ancient vines, this textural white is an unoaked, pure expression of old bush-vine Garnacha Blanca and Macabeu. Full of tropical fruit richness and nutty complexity, it would be delicious with roast chicken.
