The wine region of Galilee

Israel's wine heartland in the north, a benchmark quality zone. Powerful, structured reds with signature notes of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, dark chocolate, herbes de Provence and spices, firm tannins and a sun-soaked palate. Dominant international grapes: dense Cabernet Sauvignon, round Merlot, peppery Syrah and colourful Petit Verdot. Round Chardonnay and lively Sauvignon Blanc whites.

The word of the wine: Ugni blanc

White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
