Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does it mean for a wine to be Kosher Mevushal?
It indicates that the wine has been processed under rabbinical supervision and subjected to a rapid pasteurization process, which allows it to maintain its Kosher status even if served by someone who is not observant, without compromising its high-end sensory profile.
How does the Judean Hills terroir influence this Cabernet?
The altitude and limestone soils of the Judean Hills provide cool nights that preserve natural acidity, resulting in a Cabernet with firm tannic structure and mineral notes that complement the ripe fruit.
What is the barrel profile for the Capital Series?
A selection of French cooperages with medium toasts is used. The goal is to polish the power of the Cabernet without masking the freshness of the fruit from the Judean Hills.
Why is this wine suitable for formal celebrations?
In addition to its intrinsic quality, its Mevushal certification ensures that the wine maintains its holiness under any serving circumstances, making it the preferred choice for gala events and festive dinners.
