Tishbi Estate Shiraz 2005

100% Shiraz Grapes | Single Vineyard: Kfar Yuval | Aged 10 months 

This Shiraz displays the subtle aromas of strawberries, cherries, and plums, sweet toffee and an elegant bouquet of coffee beans and mocha derived from the French Oak Barrels in which it was aged. 

The wine is from the free run of the crushed grapes and was fermented at 25 ?C in order to preserve the aromas. It completed the malolactic fermentation in French Oak Barrels (300 Liters) and was allowed to age for 10 months. 

The grapes were harvested from Kfar Yuval vineyard that is on the northern border of Israel. This is the first Shiraz produced by the Tishbi Estate Winery and also my first as winemaker here. Great efforts were made to produce a varietal wine with maximum suitability between the climate and the geography in this region.
