Golan Yarden - Heights Late Harvest Gewurztraminer - Half-Bottle 375ml | Israel Kosher Dessert Wine

This is the Heights Gewürztraminer aromatic white wine from the Yarden series, produced by Golan Heights Winery.

The Galilee (or Galil) is the most northern, and generally considered the best, appellation in Israel. The highest quality area within the appellation is the Golan Heights (or simply the Golan), the coldest region in Israel. The vineyards on this volcanic plateau rise from 400 meters (1,300 feet) above sea level to 1,200 meters (3,900 feet) and receive snowfall in the winter. Golan Heights Winery is located in the town of Katzrin in the central Golan.

Yarden Heights is produced exclusively from Gewurztraminer fruit harvested from vineyards located on the cool northern Golan Heights. Hand-picked whole clusters of very ripe grapes are brought to the winery and cooled to -12°C (10°F) over a one-month period. The clusters are gently pressed while still frozen to gradually yield rich and concentrated juice, which slowly ferments over a few months.

Yarden Heights will continue developing in the bottle, taking on alluring marmalade notes, and should stay in excellent drinking condition for a decade or more from vintage.
