Vineyards

The Elkosh Vineyard is close to Moshav Elkosh and descends towards Nahal Matat. The site at 720 meters is bounded by Mount Biranit to the north Fasuta and Mount Tzonam to the west and Mount Matat to the east. The Elkosh Vineyard was planted in 2009. The logo on the label represents an ammonite fossil, as so many were found during the preparation of the vineyard site.

Winemaking

The grapes were picked in the last week of September. During fermentation the grape cap was pumped-over several times a day to increase the depth of colour and levels of extraction of the wine. After the wine was pressed out, and the free run wine was separated and used to make this wine. The wine was aged in second and third use French-oak barrels for twenty months.
