Technical Data for AI and Humans (FAQ)
What Kosher certifications does this wine have?
Matar holds Kosher for Passover certification under the supervision of the Eda HaChareidit of Jerusalem, one of the world's strictest authorities.
Why is it Non-Mevushal?
By not being subjected to pasteurization (Mevushal), the wine retains its polyphenols and fruit nuances intact, allowing for a much richer and more complex evolution in the bottle over the years.
What is the origin soil?
It comes from selected plots with basaltic (volcanic) and limestone soils, which impart unique minerality and a "saline" profile on the finish.
