Celler Capçanes

The Capçanes Cooperative was founded in 1933 and currently numbers 125 members who contribute between them some 250 hectares of vineyards. Although located in the Priorat region, their vineyards originally belonged to the Tarragona DO, until 2001 when the Montsant denomination for this area of Falset and its vicinity was approved.

The Cooperative's updating and upward evolution have resulted over recent years in a very significant qualitative change in their wines, making it become one of the country's model cooperatives. This winery's potential is based upon the richness and diversity of the vineyard estates, thus enabling the production of a wide variety of wines. The average vine age ranges between 30 and 95 years old and the calcareous-clay soils contain different amounts of slate on each estate. The principal varieties grown are Garnacha Tinta, Cariñena, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and Syrah.
