- Aged exclusively in stainless steel and concrete vats to maintain crisp fruit purity without oak mask.
- Composed of 55% Merlot for soft fruitiness and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon for structure.

## Food pairing

The wine's balanced acidity, medium body, and silky tannins pair seamlessly with rich savory meats and tomato-based sauces. Its savory black fruit and liquorice profile complements aged cheeses and roasted poultry without overwhelming delicate flavors.

## Wine making process

The 2023 vintage was produced using traditional temperature-controlled vinification in stainless steel and concrete vats. Aging in non-oak vessels preserves the natural black fruit, cherry, and spice aromas of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Vinification is fully certified organic and strictly supervised to maintain Kosher Non-Mevushal certification.
