PRODUCER:
Eva López met Capçanes viticultors in Montsant area and from the beginning she knew she had found people who really produce wines true to their origins using indigenous grape varieties.. Capçanes is located 100 miles southwest of Barcelona, 20 miles inland from the Mediterranean sea, is the heart of a long wine growing history dating back to the middle ages.

She made the decision to develop POTENTE project in this incredible area in Catalonia making a blend of garnacha, merlot, samsó & syrah that shows the truth of the typicality and elegance of this area created by small plots, hard inclinations and sustainable agriculture in the typical terraces. Neal Martin said once “If Priorat is Pauillac then Montsant is Margaux”.
