Semi Dry White
Vintage: 2008
Variety: Gewurztraminer
Growing region: Lower Galilee, Kfar Tabor
Growing conditions and climate: The vineyard lies at the foot of Mt. Tabor in alluvium soil over chalky limestone. The region enjoys low humidity and a flow of healthy breezes between the vine rows.
Wine production process: Manual harvesting in the early morning hours and immediate delivery to the winery in small crates. The grapes were destemmed and crushed and the juice was transferred to fermentation tanks where it was slow-fermented together with quality yeast at a temperature of 10˚C. To maintain the wine’s semi-dry character, the temperature was reduced to 0˚C to halt fermentation and preserve some of the wine’s natural sweetness.
Tasting notes: Rich exotic aroma with nuances of rosewater and litchi. The wine’s delicate sweetness is well balanced by a refreshing tartness.
Best served at a temperature of 8˚ -10˚C.
