Winemaking
The grapes were picked during the month of August. Fermentation lasted 10 days during which time the cap was kept constantly soaked in order to extract as much colour as possible. After fermentation the wine was transferred to French oak barrels where I was allowed to mature for about 14 months. Shiraz has a tendency to become a little stinky and barnyard like during
its development, this was not discouraged.
Vineyard
The Grapes for the Shiraz Family Collection come the vineyards of Elkosh and Hoshen in the western and upper Galilee.
Tasting Notes
Shiraz is showing a rich complex jammy fruit character harmoniously balanced by earthier notes of tobacco, leather and liquorice. It is a rich powerful wine with soft integrated tannins giving a spicy velvety feel and a long finish.
Serving Suggestions
This wine is suitable for heavier meals anything from beef and lamb to chicken. Or you could drink the wine alone and enjoy a truly excellent wine.
