Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why choose an Israeli Shiraz?
Israel offers a Mediterranean climate ideal for Shiraz, similar to the Rhône Valley but with a luminosity that provides darker and juicier fruit. Tabor Winery adds to this sustainable viticulture that respects the natural cycle of the grape.
How long can I store it?
Although its charm lies in its current freshness, it can evolve favorably in the cellar for the next 2 to 4 years, gaining earthier and softer notes.
