Production Area
Grapes for our Sauvignon Blanc are sourced from vineyards in northern Israel’s coastal plain region. This area enjoys a warm climate and benefits from the moderating influences of the neighboring mountains and Mediterranean Sea

Hand harvested at optimal ripeness, grapes are immediately crushed and chilled. A brief period of skin contact is allowed before pressing. After separation from the lees, the juice undergoes slow fermentation at a cool temperature to capture and preserve fresh aromas and flavors.

Fresh hay and bell pepper notes develop and linger
