Vineyards
The vineyard is planted on a slope in the Admon Vineyard, approximately 770 meters above sea level, about a mile east of Moshav Dalton. The climate is cool throughout the year, and the region is also characterized by frequent wind and snow.
Wine production
The grapes were harvested at night and processed at the Kayoumi winery, located in close proximity to the Admon vineyard. Following fermentation and maceration with the grape skins to give an elegant flavor filled structure, the wine was aged in French oak barrels for 15 months.
Ageing
The wine was ready to drink immediately upon its release, but is expected to age up to a decade from vintage, if stored in suitable conditions.
