Capcanes, Peraj Petita, Rosé, 2012: After getting an advance tasting of this wine at KFWE back in February, the wine is now available in stores and only serves to add to Capcanes’ reputation as a quality producer of kosher wines.
Made by bleeding (Saignée method) some wine early on from the Peraj Petita, the wine is comprised of the same blend of Grenache, Carignan and Tempranillo.
A nice nose with plenty of strawberries, rosewater, red cherries and tangy cranberries leads into a medium bodied with more light red fruit, some white stone fruit and a layer of oriental spices that add a certain amount of charm to this refreshing wine.
Plenty of acidity keeps this well-crafted wine alive and refreshing all the way through the lingering finish.
