Golan Heights Winery, Golan Heights (Israel) 2010

Jul 1, 2013

By Michael Franz

 High class bubbly from…Israel?  Unlikely as it may seem that a wine type usually requiring a cool or cold climate could be sourced from an essentially desert country, the relative cool of the Golan Heights can apparently turn implausibility into actuality.  Crafted entirely from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this displays outstanding balance, showing full flavor in a dry style, with expressive fruit but still an overall profile of restraint.  Tasting is believing.
