From the appellation of Montsant (next door to Priorat), Celler Capcanes’ old vine Mas Donis blend has to be one of the greatest wine values to be found anywhere in the world. All estate grown, from meticulously farmed vineyards that’re over 50 years old planted at up to 1500 ft in elevation. This beautiful Garnacha blend rivals top Priorats that retail at more than four times the price. A blend of 60% Garnacha (from a single old vine plot called Donis), with 40% Cariñena (Carignan). Yeah Cariñena ! 

Fermented and aged in a combination of stainless steel tanks and mature barriques, it’s a big red, with ample body, yet remains incredibly smooth and drinkable. Wild red and black berry aromas, mixed with violets, ground pepper, and hints of earth. Rich and juicy on the tongue with lots of juicy berries and hints of spice. Medium to full-bodied with just enough depth from a good core of tannins, and a fresh bright finish that makes it perfect with all kinds of foods. Chili, barbeque, filet mignon, or a roasted vegetable dish, this wine is really versatile. 

“Blueberries, violets, crushed rocks, peppery spice, and floral notes all emerge from the 2018 Montsant Mas Donis Old Vines, which tastes like a baby Priorat. Rich and medium to full-bodied, it offers an elegant, seamless texture, light tannins, and a great finish.” – JD
