The wine region of Judean Hills
Qualitative heart of Israeli wine around Jerusalem, the country's first official AO (2020). Dense, structured reds with signature notes of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, mint, eucalyptus, Mediterranean herbs and spice, firm tannins and freshness tightened by altitude. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in Bordeaux blends. Also peppery Syrah, dense Petit Verdot.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
