This wine was produced from 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot grapes harvested from vineyards planted on the slopes of the central hills in the Shomron at an altitude of 700-900m above sea level. The rocky shallow soil of this ancient wine country with its dry air and cool nighttime temperatures combine to offer ideal conditions for the production of quality wines. The harvesting date was chosen by carefully tracking the ripening process, including laboratory tests and grape tasting in the vineyards to identify optimal ripeness – the point at which sugar levels are optimal to produce an elegant wine, there is sufficient phenol ripening and accumulation of color and flavors, yet acidity level remains high enough to produce a rich and stable wine. When the harvest time arrived, the grapes were picked by hand in the early morning hours, from selected plots, and immediately transported to the winery. The grapes were fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel vats at relatively low temperatures so as to best preserve the aromas of the fruit. Alcoholic fermentation was followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine was stabilized and transferred to French and American oak barrels to age for 12 months in the temperature controlled barrel storerooms of the winery. The choice of plots from which to harvest the grapes for the production and blending of this wine was made with the goal of achieving a wealth of flavors and complexity providing a unique taste experience. The wine is characterized by aromas of black fruit with pepper and nuts, noticeable yet elegantly integrated tannins, and a rich lingering aftertaste of red fruit and mocha. The wine was not filtered so as to preserve its full aromatic potential. Recommended to accompany: entrecote, rich dishes.
