The wine region of Baja California
Benchmark of Mexican wine (~90% of national output), Valle de Guadalupe at its qualitative heart. Dense, sun-drenched reds with signature notes of blackberry, plum, sweet spice, Mediterranean herbs and a smoky touch, round tannins and a warm palate. Firm Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux Merlot, but also Italian Nebbiolo, Spanish Tempranillo, sun-drenched Zinfandel and Syrah — a mosaic of origins. Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc whites.
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: Red winemaking
Transformation of grapes into must and wine under the effect of alcoholic fermentation. The vinification of red wines takes place in several stages: destemming, crushing, alcoholic fermentation, vatting, running off and maturing.
