"Where ancient Jewish tradition meets the wild terroir of Montsant."
01. The Montsant Revolution
Located in the picturesque municipality of Capçanes, in the province of Tarragona, this cooperative winery showed the world that the Montsant Denominación de Origen could produce red wines with the finesse, longevity, and complexity of great international Crus. Through meticulous management of centuries-old plots of Garnacha and Cariñena (Samsó), the winery has revived the purest mountain viticulture of Catalonia.
Within our specialized catalog of Spanish wines, Celler de Capçanes stands out for its fascinating parcel-based terroir study, identifying and vinifying separately grapes from slate (*licorella*), limestone, clay, and sandy soils.
At La Cava Shop, we bring this cult wine proposal to you with the best conditions: take advantage of our exclusive benefit of free shipping on orders over $1,499 MXN or a preferential rate of $99 MXN on smaller orders, with insured deliveries and insulated-packaging to any corner of Mexico.
02. The World Reference in Kosher Wine
Peraj Ha'abib
Considered by world critics as one of the best Kosher wines ever made. It is a *Lo-Mevushal* (non-pasteurized) red wine that preserves intact the vibrancy, structure, and aromatic elegance of its selected grapes.
Strict Certification
Each label has *Kosher Le-Pesach* certification backed by the OU (Orthodox Union) and the Rabbinates of the Jewish Community of Barcelona and Madrid, guaranteeing absolute purity for Jewish Passover and ideal for red wines of global excellence.
03. The Cooperative Model and the Dual Kosher Vocation
Celler de Capçanes operates under a unique and admirable cooperative model that brings together dozens of winegrowing families from Montsant, allowing for exhaustive control of each plot despite the collective scale of production. This social and agronomic commitment ensures the maintenance of old vineyards worked by hand on steep slopes.
Its acclaimed Kosher line, born in 1995 following the call of the region's Jewish community, is produced under rigorous rabbinical supervision without sacrificing an ounce of oenological complexity: the same native varieties and the same century-old vines that define the terroir's personality are translated here into wines with firm structure, fruit concentration, and seductive minerality.
Sommelier's Frequently Asked Questions
How do Capçanes wines differ according to their soil?
Slate (*licorella*) provides mineral notes, graphite, and great power; clay offers mouthfeel volume and ripe fruit; sand provides silky tannins and elegance; while limestone, as in the famous Flor de Flor de Primavera line, delivers crisp acidity and extreme finesse.
How to understand Kosher laws in wine?
The Kosher process prohibits the use of animal-derived fining agents (using only bentonite or natural fining) and requires that only Torah-observant Jewish personnel handle the grapes, machinery, and barrels throughout the entire production and bottling process, under the supervision of a qualified rabbi.
What is the difference between a Kosher Mevushal and Lo-Mevushal wine?
Mevushal wines undergo a thermal pasteurization process, while *Lo-Mevushal* wines (like Peraj Ha'abib) are never heated. This allows for preserving the subtlety, primary aromas of the terroir, and the wine's aging potential in the bottle for many years.
