40% Garnacha, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Tempranillo, 10% Carinena, 12 Monate in neuen Barriques französischer und amerikanischer Eiche gereift.

Alkoholgehalt: 14,2 Vol.%

Intensives, ins Schwarz gehende Rubin mit violetten Reflexen. Wuchtiges Bukett mit Aromen von Waldbeeren (Konfitüre) und warmen Eichenholznoten. Am Gaumen fett und fruchtig, Herzkirschen, Heidelbeeren, schwarze Johannisbeeren, dazu Noten von edelherber Schokolade, Kaffee und Wacholderbeeren. Das Tannin ist perfekt eingebunden, noch jugendlich aber am schmelzen. Im Abgang nachdrücklich aromatisch und nachklingend. Trinkreife 2011-2022.

95 Punkte Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #194 (May 2011): "As noted above, Celler de Capcanes makes fortified wine. The 2009 Peraj Ha-abib/Flor de Primavera (Kosher) is made up of equal parts Garnacha, Carinena, and Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 13 months in a mix of new and used French oak. It is a dense, loaded offering with mouth-filling red and black fruits, liquid minerality, and floral notes. Powerful, impeccably balanced, and lengthy, it will evolve for 4-5 years and drink well through 2024." Drink 2011 - 2024. Cost: US$ 45.00

Celler de Capcanes is one of the leading estates of Montsant and arguably one of the great producers of Kosher wine this side of Manischewitz. This unusual story began in 1995 when the Jewish community of Barcelona asked Capcanes if they could produce a Kosher wine. The installation of new equipment allowed for the production of Kosher wine but also high quality wines from the old vine Garnacha and Carinena grown in the local villages by the 80 members of the cooperative. While the Kosher wines put Capcanes on the map, it represents only 2% of the production and now it is the other 98% which drives the business. The following wines were tasted during my visit to Celler de Capcanes in January, 2011."
