ABOUT THIS WINE
The Galil Mountain Winery Gewurztraminer Upper Galilee Label 2021 is a white wine produced from 100% Gewurztraminer grapes grown in the Upper Galilee region of Israel. Established in 2000, Galil Mountain Winery is a joint venture focused on revitalizing winemaking in the Upper Galilee. The winery cultivates grapes across six vineyards in the eastern Upper Galilee, leveraging the region's diverse topography and climate. The Upper Galilee is known for its high elevation, which provides warm days and cool nights, contributing to the development of aromatic varietals. The 2021 vintage was influenced by a dry winter with sufficient chilling and a ripening season with moderate weather, punctuated by one warm week. The wine is distinguished by its aromatic profile, aiming to capture the essence of the Galilee.
