The Best Kosher Wines To Drink For Passover

Dalton Canaan Red feels holiday-worthy. That first sip will have you topping off your glass from the moment you dig into your matzoh ball soup all the way through that last slice of Passcaken cake.

Boasting over 1,000 ratings on Vivino, one reviewer notes a “deep burgundy, touch of purple” color and commends this medium-bodied Israeli blend's smooth tannins of "nose of various deep, sweet fruits, earth, black pepper, and graphite."

With a pale, straw-like color, Aveleda Vinho Verde is fresh and balanced for easy drinking with a complex, flowery nose with notes of peaches and tropical fruits. We think it'd pair perfectly with roast lamb.

One of the 14,000-plus Vivino reviewers says this wine “may not be a rarity in the wine world, but there is just something special about this highly crushable wine."

This bold Israeli Bordeaux blend is sure to be the perfect complement to any Passover meal. Notes of black currants, vanilla, and hints of dark chocolate and spices stand out in this glass of Black Tulip.

With over 1,000 ratings on Vivino, this “dark red pour” has a nose with “unctuous black fruit aromas of plums, blackcurrant and oak,” according to one fan, who goes on to note that it’s “very rich, the sugars are in check the balance is impeccable, albeit slightly fruit forward.”

Barkan Classic Cabernet Sauvignon bursts with notes of juicy blackberry, ripe strawberry, and cocoa. It's far better than one might expect for its $9 price tag.

As one KosherWine.com reviewer noted: “Don’t expect too much and you’ll be happy with this wine... Get it on sale as a staple.” Pair it with a slow cooker beef brisket and your Passover guests are sure to be thrilled.

Made from grapes hand-picked in central Israel, Barkan Classic Chardonnay is well-structured, and balanced, with a rich nose of blueberries, guava, and pears and a fruity, buttery taste on the palate.

One Vivino reviewer said this “Old-World style chardonnay [has hints of apple, pear, [and] some citrus on the nose, with moderate oak” and a palate with “[medium] acidity [and a] medium finish,” while another warned it had “not much aroma, [just] a bit of citrus fruit.”

Make it a winning combo by pairing this dry white wine with a bundt pan roast chicken.

If you're gathering somewhere warm or you're a fan of strawberry and cotton candy, you can't go wrong with the Baron Herzog White Zinfandel. According to a reviewer on KosherWine.com, “This is a light wine, opening on the palate with fruity flavors, not too sweet at all.”

Crisp and refreshing, this semi-dry rosé is fantastic when paired with potato kugel, chicken, or served as an aperitif.

Pop, fizz, clink! There’s no better way to celebrate than with a bottle of Drappier Carte d'Or Brut Champagne. Made in the Southern Rhône, it's delightfully fizzy and acidic without being too bold.

This bottle has over 12,600 ratings on Vivino, with one reviewer writing: “Drapier is supposed to be a rather basic Champagne, but still it punches way above other non-Champ sparklers."

Expect a nose of chalk, minerals, and citrus, with apple and salty notes on the palate. A tart finish rounds out each sip.

Perfect when paired with a classic charoset, Bartenura Moscato is bold, slightly sweet, and just bubbly enough for easy drinking. This Italian Moscato has a fruity palate that features notes of pear, tangerine, nectar and melon. Calling it a “great value for [a] DOCG,” which means it’s from the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita region of Italy.

One of this wine’s 12,000-plus reviewers on Vivino praised this “overall crisp and refreshing sparkling white wine from Piemonte... [it's] delightfully sweet and balanced! Enjoy by itself as a [dessert] wine or for toasting.” Consider opening this bottle with an Italian-inspired dish like matzo lasagna.
