Berliner Wine Trophy 2023: Cabrida 2021: Gold Medal
Andreas Larsson 2023: Cabrida 2021: 92p. “Medium deep garnet colour. Pure and floral nose with some flinty/stony notes, ripe plum, cherry, wild berries, garrigue and fine spices. The palate is supple and rounded but with very good grip and concentration, fragrant herbal and spicy dark fruit flavours backed by a fresh acidity, pulpy and digest with a very good length.”

Frankfurt International Trophy 2022: Cabrida 2019: GOLD
Decanter World Wine Awards 2021: Cabrida 2018: GOLD/95 pts. “Floral and ripe red fruit nose. Really soft and rich on the palate, quite velvet-textured and a pure. This is quite subtle and very stylish, multi-layered and generous, with excellent length.”
James Suckling tasting 2018: Cabrida 2016: 94p. Joyful nose of fresh raspberries, summer flowers and a hint of clove. Concentrated ripe fruit, beautifully crafted tannins that sit so neatly within this wide frame. Great balance of sweet and dry, warm and cool elements. Delicious now, but with very good aging potential.
The Wine Advocate 2016: Cabrida 2014: 92 Points. The 2014 Cabrida already shows the new direction for the estate—especially for 2015—towards finer, more complex and delicate wines with judicious use of oak and more fruit-driven and fresh. Those seem like deep changes, and this pure old vine Garnacha is the blend of many micro-vinifications in open 500-liter oak barrels with some floral and wild berry aromas, and a core of sweet spices and earth. The palate is quite delicate, with a fine texture, with chalky tannins and good freshness.
“It seems like some deep changes have happened at the cooperative of Capçanes with a new technical team and a new direction towards finer, more complex and delicate wines with judicious use of oak, fruit-driven and fresher.”
