Har Sinai ’09

The Har Sinai wine is produced with an ancient technology and a combination of modern equipment. The wine is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot ripened grapes. They were hand picked at the break of dawn. The grapes were separated and frozen for three days. They were later heated on an open olive wood fire. After a short fermentation the wine is transferred to wooden oak barrels and is put outside in the open air for a year. They wine has a deep red burgundy color. It has an aroma of raisins, cherries, plums, coffee grains, toasted oak wood and bitter sweet chocolate. The taste is full bodied with a soft complex and an impressive long pleasant finish.
