Blanc

Varietals:
82% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Sémillon, 8% Chardonnay

Vineyards:
Three plots of Sauvignon Blanc, one plot of Chardonnay in Wadi Khaklil, and one plot of Sémillon, all grown in the vineyards of Givat Yeshayahu in the Judean Foothills. The soils consist of terra rossa, limestone, and clay.

About the vintage:
The winter of 2025 was characterized by a markedly more generous cold accumulation than in the previous year, contributing to a healthy vine dormancy and a successful, uniform budbreak. Despite the dry winter, precise and meticulous vineyard management resulted in vigorous, well-balanced vines.
Early summer conditions supported successful flowering and high-quality cluster development. During the critical harvest months (July and August), cooler-than-average nights and mornings reflected the unique terroir of our Giv’at Yeshayahu vineyards in the Judean Hills.
Backed by the slopes of the Judean Hills, these vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate that is particularly favorable to the vines, defined by Mediterranean breezes from the west that cool the area in the late afternoon, a dry climate, and cold air that circulates from the mountains in the east and settles on the valley floor, keeping nights cool, enhancing diurnal temperature variation, and ensuring optimal ripening and high fruit quality.

Process:
In order to create different shades and textures in the final blend, each of the three plots of Sauvignon Blanc is harvested manually and selectively at its optimal time. some harvested earlier to preserve natural acidity, while others are picked later for ripe white fruit character.
Then the clusters undergo a very gentle whole-cluster pressing, which preserves the fruit’s character and yields high-quality must with minimal intervention. The must is then partly fermented in stainless-steel tanks and partly (about 30%) in 225 L and 500 L oak barrels, with each vineyard parcel fermented separately to retain its unique characteristics, until the final blend is created to reflect the Judean Hills terroir.

Alcohol:
