About this product
The benchmark Israeli Cabernet Sauvignon — from volcanic basalt vineyards at 900–1,100m altitude on the Golan Heights, aged in French and American oak. The wine combines Mediterranean ripeness with highland freshness: blackcurrant, dark plum, cedar, tobacco, and a distinctive basalt mineral note. More structured and age-worthy than the climate might suggest, with firm tannins and good natural acidity. One of the Middle East's most internationally credible red wines.

The wine's dark fruit and cedar notes bridge to the sweet-savory complexity of Persian-influenced beef. Pomegranate echoes its tartness while almonds bridge its mineral depth.

The wine's structure and dark fruit complement aged sheep's milk cheese. Date honey (silan) mirrors its dark fruit concentration in a pairing of obvious Israeli cultural logic.

complement
The wine's dark fruit bridges to roasted eggplant's smokiness. Tahini adds richness while pomegranate molasses echoes the wine's tartness — a quintessential Levantine flavour bridge.
