Type of wine
Dry Red
Varieties
98% Shiraz and 2% Viognier
Growing region
Upper Galilee
Tasting notes
The wine displays a deep purplish hue and lingering finish of ripe blackberry, grounded black pepper, smoked meat and spices. The wine is full-bodied and fruity taste with a long and balanced finish.
Food pairing
The wine is an ideal companion for dishes such as lamb, beef, and goat milk cheeses.
Vineyards
The Kayoumi Vineyard is located between Miron and Kadita in the Upper Galilee, planted on a south easterly facing slope at an altitude of about 750 meters above sea level. The climate is typically cool throughout the year with northwestern winds and is often frequented by snow in the winter. The shallow soil mostly consists of generic Terre Rossa and contains a high percentage of stone.
Wine production
The grapes were harvested at night and processed at the Kayoumi Winery, located in close proximity to the 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.
Harvest
The fall and winter that preceded the 2012 vintage were considerably colder than previous years, while rainfall was higher than the annual average. This however, was offset by a warm spring that brought about an early and even ripening in the vineyards.
The cold wet autumn and winter, combined with a warm spring and summer, resulted in early fruit development, and in bringing forward the scheduled time of harvest. The grape quality was first class, leading to the creation of this distinctive wine, both rich and balanced.

Harvest
The winter and spring that preceded the 2011 harvest were warmer
than usual, and the rainfall was around the annual average. The cool spring
delayed the awakening of the vineyards by a few weeks. The vineyards
experienced a combination of a relatively cool spring, a pleasant summer with no
significant heat waves, and a few occasions of light rainfall during August,
September and October. This led to late development of the fruit and a slight
delay in the schedule of the harvest. The grapes were of a very high quality,
creating wines which were full of classic character, rich and well-balanced.

began early compared to previous years, especially the for the premium white
varieties. The wines created are balanced and display the full characteristics of

Harvest
The winter preceding the 2009 vintage was slightly warmer than
average, leading to premature awakening in the vineyards. Spring and early
summer had favorable weather conditions, but in late August and early
September, the ripening of the grapes in some of the vineyards was completed
early. However, due to the early budding on the vines in 2009, the harvest began
several days earlier than in previous years, but continued until the end of
October. This vintage led to the creation of balanced wines, displaying their full,
varietal characteristics.

Harvest
The winter preceding the 2008 harvest was cold and blessed with
many cold spells. Rainfall was 35% lower than the annual average and the hot
spring lead to premature awakening and unified grapes. Due to premature
budding, the 2008 harvest began a few days earlier than planned compared to
previous years. The quality of the grapes was excellent and in turn, created
wines which are rich and balanced.

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.
Harvest
The winter preceding the 2007 vintage was relatively cold and blessed
with many cold spells, but the rainfall was 25% lower the annual average.
February was warmer than usual which led to the early awakening of the vines.
Due to the early budding on the vines, the 2007 harvest began earlier than usual
and continued up until November. This is one of the longest lasting harvest
seasons in the history of the Carmel Winery which lasted for more than three
months. Crop yields were lower than in 2006, with excellent grape quality,
leading to the creation of rich and balanced wines.

March was warmer than average, this brought about an early and even ripening
in the vineyards. The climate throughout the growing season was pleasant with
no significant heat waves. Rainfall was lower than the annual average and the
combination of good climate conditions, together with a relatively low yield, led to
excellent ripening of the grapes and creating very well-balanced wines.
