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: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
