Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the specific origin of Tulip's grapes?
This Cabernet Sauvignon comes from selected vineyards in the Upper Galilee, specifically from high-altitude areas with basalt and terra rossa soils.
What makes Tulip Winery special?
Beyond its high winemaking quality, Tulip is located in Kfar Tikva (Village of Hope), a community that employs and supports adults with special needs, actively integrating them into the production process.
What sets Upper Galilee Cabernets apart?
The altitude of the Galilee allows for much cooler nights than in the rest of Israel, which results in a slow ripening process that preserves herbaceous aromas and acidity, avoiding heavy or over-ripe wines.
Is it a Kosher wine?
Yes, Tulip holds the most rigorous Kosher certifications (Rabbi Shmuel Vozner and the local Rabbinate), making it suitable for all religious festivities.
What is its aging potential?
Although the 2023 vintage is vibrant today, its tannic structure and concentration allow for positive evolution in the bottle over the next 5 to 8 years.
