Vineyard Notes:
The winemaking philosophy behind Carmel Ridge wines is to craft fruit forward, easy drinking, value for money wines for drinking young. The wines all come from the southern Mount Carmel region, close to Carmel's Zichron Ya'acov Cellars overlooking the Mediterranean Sea between Tel Aviv and Haifa. After careful harvesting and fermentation in sophisticated modern stainless steel equipment, the wine is kept for a few months prior to bottling. No oak is used.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans
Carmel Winery was established in 1882 by Baron Edmond de Rothschild of Château Lafite fame, and is one of the oldest companies in Israel. Sourcing grapes from over 300 vineyards throughout the country, many in cool climate high altitude sites such as the Upper Galilee and Judean Hills, Carmel has become a byword for quality and consistency. From the highly acclaimed Carmel Limited Edition, the company’s flagship wine, and the stylish Single Vineyard series of wines, to the Carmel Ridge range, the company’s team of internationally trained winemakers has amply demonstrated Israel’s tremendous potential as a quality wine producer. All wines produced by Carmel are both Kosher and Vegan.
