Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does it mean for a wine to be Kosher Non-Mevushal?
It means the wine has not been pasteurized (boiled). By not being subjected to high temperatures, it preserves its organoleptic properties, complexity, and aging potential intact, complying with Jewish dietary laws under the strictest supervision.
Why is Cabernet blended with Petit Verdot in this series?
Cabernet Sauvignon provides the backbone and tannic structure, while Petit Verdot, which flourishes exceptionally in the Judean Hills, adds an almost black depth of color, floral notes of violets, and an acidic freshness that balances the power of the blend.
What is its aging potential?
Thanks to its solid tannic structure and fruit concentration, this wine will evolve beautifully in the cellar over the next 5 to 8 years.
Is it suitable for holiday consumption?
Definitely. As a high-end Kosher Non-Mevushal wine, it is the preferred choice for Shabbat dinners or special celebrations where wine quality is paramount.
