Dry White Wine
Vintage: 2008
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Growing region: Upper Galilee
Growing conditions and climate: Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in the Upper Galilee planted in a mixture of terra rossa and basaltic soil. The soil’s structure enables effective ventilation of the vine roots. The climate in the region is typically cool with cold nights, hot days and low humidity levels in the summer. These conditions are conducive to optimal development and quality of the grapes’ flavor and aroma components.
Wine production process: Manual harvest in the early hours of the morning and immediate delivery to the winery in small crates. The grapes were destemmed and crushed and the juice was then cold-fermented with the skins for 12 hours for maximum extraction of the skin’s aromatic components. The wine was transferred to stainless steel tanks for slow cold fermentation at a temperature of 10˚C to retain the grape’s herbaceous and fruity aromas in the wine.
Tasting notes: Exceptional aromatic blend of ripe fruit and prominent herbality with an elegant and bracing flavor. Best served chilled to at a temperature of 8˚ -10˚C.
