Blind Tasted 2018:
- Peraj Ha’abib 2016: 91p. Rather deep red colour with a purple hue. Youthful intense and ripe nose offering ripe plum, blackberry, cassis, tobacco and fine spices with a hint of new oak. The palate is ample with a nice mouth feel, dense and chewy but with ripe tannin and a balanced acidity, layers of ripe dark fruit with a peppery spiciness, some smokiness and a long vibrant finish.
James Suckling tasting 2018:
- Peraj Ha’abib, Flor de Primavera Kosher 2016: 95p. Just beginning to mature, this has a very complex nose of spice, licorice and hot stones, as well as great black fruit. Concentration, warmth and drive in this rich red that has a very long, polished finish. Kosher wine. Drink or hold.

Very concentrated but closed nose, good structure and balance. On the palate well balanced with medium weight and good length.
“Juan Fernádez- Cuesta”, Diario ABC, Mayo, 2012, Spain : Vino kosher, pura belleza. Este vino es una maravilla. Es Peraj Ha’abib. Flor de Primavera. Así se llama. Un vino kosher que ha dejado de ser kosher (no soy judío) en el instante que he abierto la botella. Ha perdido su pureza, aunque se mantenga entera. Pura belleza.
“Yossie’s Corkboard”, May 2012: This week’s newsletter discusses one of my all-time favorite wineries – Capcanes of Spain. Despite much love for this delightful winery, having enjoyed its kosher vintages starting with 1998; I have never dedicated a newsletter to the winery and its history. While many acclaimed non-kosher vineyards around the world make kosher cuvees of certain wines in limited runs, Capcanes is unique in that it was its kosher cuvee that initially put it on the map. Located in the village of Capcanes in Spain’s Montsant region a close neighbor of Spain’s famed Priorat, the Capcanes winery was founded as a cooperative by five local wine-growing families in 1933.
“Koshervino, Jon Tabak”,2011 USA Peraj Ha’abib 2009:94 punts.
(.. L’anyada més elegant elaborada fins a dia d’avui. La garnatxa d’aquest cupatge realment llueix, i a més a més, ens recorda el vi varietal de garnatxa de Capçanes, el Flor de Flor de Primavera 2007. A la copa presenta un esplèndid color robí pujat amb una consistència lleugera i fluïda. En nas, un vibrant festival de fruites –cirera negra, mora, nabiu assecat- seguit pels torrats del roure, amb un toc de vainilla i xocolata negra. En boca deixa una entrada de dolçor de cirera, evolucionant cap a roure, espècies i un punt de xocolata. De cos mitjà, amb acidesa alta però equilibrada, aquest vi ens enganxa amb uns joves tanins suaus i sedosos. El final és d’una allargada impressionant, amb tanins que destaquen i una certa astringència (al contrari de la dolçor residual d’anyades prèvies). Un cupatge molt elegant que s’aparta del corpulent Peraj Ha’abib que fins ara hem conegut, però és un canvi benvingut, si més no. Tot i que aquest vi es pot beure ara, recomano esperar encara uns sis mesos. Salut!
