Finally, the red wine Costers del Gravet 2021 was aged for a further 3 months in diposits to round it.

Nose | This interesting blend of Carignan, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon suggests complex notes of red fruit, combined with aromas of balsam, spices, toast and aromatic herbs over a mineral background. |
Palate | Bold and intense, this red wine of the Celler de Capçanes winery has a solid mineral skeleton that sustains juicy notes of red fruit, garrigue and spices. Smooth tannins, crisp acidity and long, earthy finish. |
Our personal opinion | A phenomenal value from Montsant, the red wine Costers del Gravet 2021 pairs excellently with meat dishes and casseroles, but also drinks nicely without food. |
