Wine Notes

This complex wine is characterized by its especially rich and full body. It possesses a deep red color with purple hues combined with a bouquet of black cherry, blackcurrant, ripe plums, violets, herbs with gentle hints of mint and oak. Its flavors display ripe black plums, mint and oak with nuances of dark chocolate. Its balanced acidity combines excellently with its smoky character derived from aging in French oak, leaving a long lasting finish on the palate. The substantial measure of astringency and acidity in the wine constitutes for an aging potential of the next five to ten years. We suggest serving this wine with beef, goose or lamb.

Winemaking

The grapes were harvested in the early hours of the morning and whilst maintaining a low temperature, were transferred immediately to the stainless steel vats on the winerys premises. After the grapes were left in contact with their skins for two days, specially imported yeast from Bordeaux was added to the temperature-controlled vats. Fermentation of the wine continued for 12 days, the temperature reaching 30 degrees C on completion of the process. This method of fermentation guarantees the maximum extraction of the grape skins color, flavor and aroma together with their tannic qualities. After this procedure, the grapes are then separated from their peel, followed by a malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels. The wine continues to mature in the barrels for a period of 24 months.

Growing Region: Kfar Yuval. The climate in the northern Galilee is characterized by its quota of cold weather. The red soil in the vineyard on Kfar Yuval, at one time, interfaced with the waters of the Hula Lake. The soil is exceptionally rich and airy, excelling in its drainage qualities. Its airy quality is thanks to the small rivers scattered in the area – similar to that in the region of “Haute-Medoc” in Bordeaux or in “Côte-Rotie” in the Rhone Valley in France. The abundance of minerals and their intensity is what characterizes the wines produced from grapes grown in Kfar Yuval.
