Cabrida 2008

Red wine. Bigarreau cherry red, clean and bright with a medium robe. It has long-lasting lively legs.
At first, you get ripe red fruit with hints of pine oil, mint and dried herbs with a mineral backdrop. There is also a hint of fruit macerated in spirits.
On the palate, this wine is mouth-watering, dominated by an initial taste explosion of fruit, together with touches of dried Mediterranean herbs which were already apparent on the nose as well as honest mineral tones. This fruit is harmoniously integrated with its time in barrel.

Peraj Ha’Abib – 2009 / Flor de Primavera
Celler de Capçanes – D.O. Montsant
Grape Varieties: Grenache (Garnatxa), Carignan (Samsó) and Cabernet Sauvignon

Ripe blackcurrant coloured red wine with a dark red medium robe. Clean and light in the glass with good legs. An initial reading recalls a fresh, complex red wine.

The labels now include original texts related to ownership of the vineyards, dating back to before the phylloxera plague. These documents have been found by cooperative members at home amongst their personal papers. Not everyone can say that they still have the original deeds to their property in their possession. After a long search for “old papers” and after having selected the ones that were still legible and did not turn to dust in our fingers, we have been able to put these centenary documents on show.

We have started the year very well with a tour around Germany. We have offered numerous tastings of our range of wines in Dortmund, Stuttgart, Offenburg and Essen. To name just one, we would like to mention the Wein Festival which was held on Saturday, 28th January in Schloss Hugenpoet. Together with 35 internationally acclaimed wineries, we presented our wines in a unique setting, one of the Leading Small Hotels of the World!

Promoted by the rotary members of Tarragona Club, last saturday they celebrated the annual meeting at Celler de Capçanes to talk about all the events and actions done during last year. Due to the excellent relationship between Rotary Tarragona and our winery, they choose us to enjoy a beautiful day and visit our barrel´s room and the kosher area, as well.

In mid January, we presented our extended range of Kosher wines to our Israeli clients from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Flor de Flor de Primavera awakened a considerable amount of interest due to it being a monovarietal wine made from a hundred year old vines. This was the first time we had presented this wine in Israel.
