Galil Mountain Syrah 2021

100% Syrah

The winter preceding the 2021 vintage was average in precipitation but relatively warm compared to previous years. This led to the pruning of the vines later than usual as well as the awakening of the vines from the winter sleep was slightly late compared to the average year. Spring and summer were moderate in temperatures and the grapes ripened in optimal conditions.

The harvest period began at the end of July with the Gewurztraminer grapes from the Menara vineyard and ended in the second week of October with the Cabernet Sauvignon vintage from the Misgav Am vineyard. A period of 10 weeks allowed the team optimal conditions to make excellent wine.

The wine underwent 4-7 days of fermentation in stainless steel vats, malolactic fermentation, and six months of aging also in stainless vats to preserve its fruity character.

A young varietal wine deep purple in color with rich, invigorating characters of violets, ripe cherry, and black plum, with a hint of earth. The full-bodied wine has a velvety texture and a pleasant and long-lasting finish.

Best served at about 18°. Store in a cold, dark area. If stored under proper conditions, the wine should stay well preserved for 2-4 years from the time of harvest.
