Juicy, bitter cherry and ripe blackberry explosion from the Spanish Montsant region which surrounds Priorat. From very old bush vines which gives the wine great concentration and complexity.

“Cabrida 2018 is a beauty. I love it! A seductive red fruited cocktail combined with attractive floral and herby notes, simply put your nose in the glass and smell it! It’s like an essence.

This wine surprises and convinces by its finesse, complexity and elegance.

Here you find the perfect balance of structure and power, pure refined, understatement.  Precise, subtle and defined. First you get ripe tannins, then crisp and lively acidity which lifts up the 100% Garnacha fruit from 85-110 years old vines. There are blockbusters on one side and wines like Cabrida on the other”.
