WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Hermon Mount Hermon Red 2022 undergoes a maceration period of 5 days, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is bottled unfiltered. Some winemaking accounts suggest fermentation and aging exclusively in steel tanks, while others indicate aging in a combination of American and French oak barrels. The grapes are cultivated in the Galilee region of Israel, known for its cooler climate and volcanic basalt soils, which contribute to a longer ripening process.
