Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is Tura's Pinot Noir considered 'High Altitude'?
The vineyards are located in Har Bracha, at 850 meters above sea level. This extreme microclimate, with snow in winter and constant breezes in summer, allows the Pinot Noir grape (which prefers cold climates) to ripen slowly, developing a vibrant acidity and aromatic complexity not found in lower areas.
What does it mean that it is a Kosher Non-Mevushal wine?
It means that the wine has been produced under Jewish dietary laws and has not been pasteurized. Since it is not subjected to heat (Mevushal), the wine keeps all its subtleties, fruity nuances, and potential for evolution in the bottle intact.
Is it a wine for cellaring?
Yes. Although its freshness is charming now, this Pinot Noir has an acidic structure that allows it to evolve favorably in the cellar over the next 4 to 6 years.
What distinguishes Tura from other Israeli wineries?
Tura is a boutique winery that benefits from one of the highest and coldest terroirs in the country, allowing them to specialize in varietals that require subtlety and extreme freshness, far from the alcoholic power of other areas.
