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: Presses
The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
