Vineyards
Viognier Reserve comes from the vineyard of Misgav Am in of the Upper Galilee at 850 meters. The plot is gradually sloped in a northwesterly direction with a mixed clay and limestone soil.
Winemaking
The grapes for this wine were harvested by hand in the middle of September. The grapes were chilled and then pressed in whole clusters. The juice was transferred to French oak barrels for natural (wild yeast) fermentation, taking advantage of the ambient yeast from the grapes. The wine was further aged in barrels for six months.
Serving Suggestions
Viognier is a great wine and an ideal accompaniment to smoked meats or grilled fish, chicken or duck, or alone as an aperiti.
