The wine region of Ensenada
Wine capital of Mexico in Baja California (Valle de Guadalupe 50 km north, 90% of national production): Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo (perfectly adapted) and Merlot are the signature red kings — profile with cherry, cocoa, fermented and yeasty notes, woody touches, spices and citrus. Syrah and historic Grenache in complement, creativity beyond strict appellations. Favourable Mediterranean climate, ~2 million cases/year, original blends.
The wine region of North
North Israel encompasses Upper and Lower Galilee plus the Golan, vineyards at altitude on limestone soils, volcanic basalt and draining gravels, climate tempered by strong day-night swings. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah are the signature reds — full-bodied and precise with notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, blackberry, garrigue and a mineral touch, ripe tannins and preserved freshness. Historic Carignan. Taut Chardonnay and lively Sauvignon in whites.
The word of the wine: Concentrator
A device that removes water from grape must by reverse osmosis or entropy system. Its proponents say that it is better to remove water than to add sugar to produce more alcohol. The improperly used concentrator can also exaggerate bad tastes or greenness of tannins.
