Flagship white by the amazing Pilar Higuero, one of Spain’s most exciting proponents of biodynamic farming and the unofficial “lideresa” (leader) of the Spanish vignerons association “Artisan Wine Attraction.” The wine is named after the traditional children’s game “a pita cega” (“blindman’s buff” in English, literally “the blind hen” in Galician language) and the tools used to clean up vineyards in this spectacular biodynamic farm: a flock of chicken (Her red wine labels, on the other hand, feature the sheep used to graze and fertilize soils). Blend of mostly Albariño, Treixadura and other indigenous varieties, fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and aged on its lees for 20 months. Very expressive, complex nose with aromas of apples, white fruit, fennel, floral notes and minerals. Medium to full bodied, round, sumptuous on the palate. Lively, fresh, vibrant, good acidity. Amazing wine ⚡️ — 5 years ago

Unbelievable value at $3 from Lidl. Nice rustic red from Espana. 80% Temparnillo, 20% Granacha, plenty of red berries and tannins. Great with a good Italian sandwich! — 7 years ago
Surprisingly dark color. A bit on the sweeter side until the wine opens up. But good balance with nice level of acidity. Enjoy now — 8 years ago

Whiff of strawberries and smoky wood, tastes of ripe blackberries, subtle salinity, full-bodied with smooth tannins, then a long umami finish. Delicious with manchego and queso de cabra. — 5 years ago
Celler de Capcanes is a modern cooperative in the province of Tarragona. Founded in 1933. Aromas of hot wet bitumen road with mint, menthol, herbs. After a while in the decanter a ripe red fruited perfume and a touch of tar. No sign of raspberry which one often gets with new world Grenache. A medium to full bodied palate. The following night the palate was a little “blocky” without much nuance. I’m somewhat non-plussed for the price and reputation. 100% Garnacha; one of the 1001 Wines; approximately 3000 bottles made. Imported into Australia by the wonderfully named “The Spanish Acquisition “. Postscript: The name derives from when the vineyards were abandoned and taken over by goats (cabra means goat). — 6 years ago

A la vista un Champagne amarillo oro transparente y elegante con burbujas grandes y centradas, en nariz notas de mantequilla, pan tostado, lima, piña, manzana verde, miel y en boca todas las anteriores pero resalta la manzana verde y la miel. Excelente champagne nada seco. Maride con palomitas de maíz con mantequilla, caramelo y queso, queso cremoso de cabra y todo muy rico — 7 years ago

Hermoso color rosa medio-palido. Tiene olores a frutos rojos, huele a dulce y se siente un poco la acidez en la nariz. El olor es muy fresco y no huele mucho a alcohol. En boca es corto, y fresco, muy ligero. No se siente el alcohol al tomarlo. Predomina el sabor a frambuesa, dulce caramelo en la punta de la lengua y un poco de acidez al tragar. — 5 years ago
Not bad for the price! — 6 years ago

Una añada, calificada como excelente, que presentan una buena intensidad colorante, importantes notas frutales en nariz y un potencial tánico alto en boca con taninos dulces que indican la buena maduración fenólica de las bayas.
Excelente para un buen queso de Cabra o un buen plato de fiambre... — 8 years ago
Drink it all. Soft tannins, amazing with Cana de Cabra or Tête de Moine
