Celler de Capçanes Cap Sentit
A vibrant Orange wine with textural orchard fruit, ripe peach, and poised acidity
Celler de Capçanes Cap Sentit Orange Catalunya DO, Spain. This still, dry Orange wine, crafted from 100% Garnacha Blanca grapes, boasts an intense golden hue with amber reflections, a result of extended skin contact during its unique vinification process in stainless steel tanks, followed by ageing on lees. The nose is reminiscent of ripe peach, apricot, and delicate floral notes, leading to a palate that showcases the textural appeal of the variety, vibrant orchard fruit characters, and perfectly poised acidity. This versatile, vegan and vegetarian-friendly wine pairs beautifully with charcuterie, mature cheeses, or lightly spiced Asian dishes.

Vinification
As an orange wine, it is produced with extended skin contact during vinification of the white grapes, more usual in red wine making. After a 15 day maceration on the skins, fermentation is carried out at a controlled temperature (16°C) in stainless steel tanks and lightly pressed afterwards. The wine is then aged on its lees before a light fining prior to bottling.
