Celler de Capçanes Mas Donis Tinto 2023 is an expressive, Mediterranean-style red wine from Celler de Capçanes, a well-established winery in the Montsant DO (Catalonia, Spain) with a long history dating back to 1933 and a reputation for quality and tradition. The cooperative brings together local growers from the village of Capçanes and works with Garnacha (Grenache) and other traditional Mediterranean varieties to craft wines that reflect the region’s warm climate, varied soils and rustic heritage. Mas Donis Tinto 2023 is a dry, medium-bodied blend built around Garnacha and supporting varieties like Merlot, Syrah and Tempranillo (specific proportions vary by vintage) that together create a wine with abundant red fruit character and layered complexity. The grapes are sourced from vineyards planted on alluvial, granite and slate soils at altitudes between roughly 150–450 m, hand-harvested and co-fermented to capture ripe fruit flavours and fresh acidity. In the glass it shows a medium ruby colour with bright aromas of cherry, red berries and spice, often complemented by subtle floral notes and a gently savoury, earthy undertone. The palate is juicy and balanced, with soft, ripe tannins and a refreshing finish that makes it approachable in its youth while still offering satisfying depth. This Montsant red pairs beautifully with Mediterranean-style dishes, grilled meats, tapas, stews, pasta with tomato-based sauces or cheese boards, and also stands well on its own as an easy-drinking everyday wine. Why we love this wine? We love the juicy softness of this wine!
