Semi Dry Rosé Wine | 2009 Grape Varieties: A merger of Syrah, Carignan, Tempranillo and some Cabernet Franc. Vineyards: Jerusalem Hills, Vitkin Village, Zichron Yaakov and Benyamina. Vinification: The wine was prepared using two accepted techniques for producing Rosé. Bleeding: In this process, some of the grape juice is drained from the tank in which the red grapes were inserted several hours to a day previously. Because of the short term skin contacts, the grape juice gets a shade of blush and a little of the red fruit aromatic and taste character. Press Direct: In this procedure, the grapes are inserted into the extractor after light squeezing. The juice extracted is used for making rosé. Tasting Notes: The merging of the two techniques, and using different grape varieties, plus the precise production process of prolonged fermentation at a low temperature resulted in a fruity, dry and vitally blush colored rosé wine, with aromatic character and acute freshness, red fruit tastes and the spicy source of red grapes. Serving: Israel Journey Rosé can serve as a perfect aperitif to any meal and suitably accompanies a wide variety of dishes: sea food, fish, poultry parts, Mediterranean spiced pasta dishes and Far Eastern style portions. Recommended serving temperature - 6° - 8° C. Storage: The wine is ready for immediate drinking up to one year from harvest.
