Tel Shifon Red 2022

Varietals: 56% Merlot / 15% Syrah / 15% Cabernet Franc / 14% Cabernet Sauvignon
Cultivation area: Northern Golan Heights, Tel Shifon vineyard at an altitude of 915 meters above sea level
Harvest dates: 08/22 - 09/22
Production process: The different varieties were harvested manually at dawn in the Tel Shifon vineyard at several different times between the end of August and mid-September. The grapes were quickly delivered to the winery and underwent manual sorting, gentle processing and transfer to stainless steel tanks for a short fermentation. Following fermentation, the wine was transferred into 3,000-liter wooden tanks made for us at Seguin Morau in France, where it matured for about 16 months.
Tasting notes: This is a blend of all the red varieties we grow at the Tel Shifon vineyard, with Merlot being the base of the wine. This year, the Cabernet Franc received a higher expression in the blend to further lighten the body of the wine and add a graceful and fresh greenness. The wine expresses itself with a pleasant aroma of fresh cherry, wild strawberries and a variety of berries. It has a light earthiness together with a medium body and a soft finish. A great wine to accompany various meals and foods around the world and around the clock.
