THE WINES

Red Canaan

WINEMAKING:
Red Canaan is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Sirah and a little Shiraz, the proportions of which may vary from year to year.

Close proximity to the winery allowed for immediate crushing and fermenting. The colour of the wine is extracted by a rigorous regime of pumping over and warm fermentation. The Canaan wines are our earliest release wines and do not see influence of oak before bottling.

TASTING NOTES:
Canaan is an easy drinking medium-bodied red wine with sweet fruit, with notes of black pepper, cherries and plums, low tannins and soft vanilla tones. This is a wine with very few pretensions and is made for immediate consumption.

 

SUGGESTED SERVING TEMPERATURE:
16-18〫 Celsius but can also be served slightly chilled.

 

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
The Canaan wines were made with the Israeli climate and cuisine in mind so they particularly suitable for Mediterranean cuisine. The Red Canaan is a good accompaniment to pasta, pizza, poultry, and mixed grills, it is also an excellent party wine.
