55% Marselan, 25% Carignan old vines and 20% Grenache.

Growing region

Judean Hills, Southern Mt. Carmel and Upper Galilee

Tasting notes

Refreshing, fruity & rich.

Food pairing

A good accompaniment to dishes such as lamb sausages, grilled tuna and Emmental cheese.

Vineyards

The Marselan grapes are grown in the Judean Hills, the Carignan from old vines in the south of Mount Carmel, and the Grenache grapes come from vineyards in the Upper Galilee.

Wine production

The final blend was aged for eight months in 4 French, 5,000 liter oak barrels, the large barrels to imparting complexity whilst retaining the fruity character of the wine.

Ageing

Ready to drink on release.

Harvest

The fall and winter leading up to 2015 was colder than average, and rainfall was less than normal. Spring was cool which led to a 10-day delay in the start of the harvest in relation to the average. August and September were warmer than usual and included a dramatic dust storm. Despite the complex conditions, we were able to produce complex and high quality wines.

Serving recommendations

To enjoy this wine at its best, serve at a temperature between 16 – 18° c.
