Background

Located in Israel's Merom Ha'Galil within the Upper Galilee, the newly built Recanati winery is a showcase winemaking facility, equipped with the most innovative technology available today. It obtains its grapes from some of the area's finest high-altitude vineyards, which enjoy a climate similar to that of California's Napa Valley. Warm days and contrastingly cool nights, together with chalky-gravelly soil conditions and limited rainfall, create an ideal environment in which to nurture these classic varieties. Owned by Lenny Recanati (a native of Israel with ancestral roots stretching back to Italy), the winery is the realization of Lenny's life-long dream to produce truly world-class wines. Chief winemaker Kobi Arviv is known for his creative work and authentic winemaking philosophy. His use of ancient and unique techniques, alongside the technological advances of today, has raised the quality bar for Israeli wines and turned Recanati into one of the country's benchmark producers.

TERROIR & VINTAGE NOTES

The Upper Galilee’s Mediterranean climate is well-suited to growing a variety of grapes. High altitudes and cool breezes produce fresh aromatics and the wide diurnal temperature ranges extend the ripening period.

Winemaking & Aging

Delicate inert pressing, followed by a low-temperature fermentation and aging in controlled stainless steel tanks.

Tasting Notes

Refreshing from first sip to last, this straw gold-hued blend from the Upper Galilee region delivers abundant stone fruit and wild herb notes, punctuated by ripe tropical fruit, fennel, and pear.

Points

Floral aromas of orange blossom, gardenia and chamomile leap from your glass followed by roughly grated red apple and dried mango skin. Somewhat steely in texture, the flowery palate moves into crushed shell and lemon peel on the finish. Composed of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Colombard, you can confidently pair this wine with Caesar salad, grilled poultry and latkes. Palm Bay International. Best Buy. —R.S.
