2018 | Five Stones Vineyards | 'Virtuous' Red Wine

The fruit is pure and precise, displaying uncanny discretion in the ripeness factor. Terrific length and texture at the finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Deep ruby red to the eye, this wine carries aromas of fruits of the wood, juniper and portobello mushroom. It starts out savory on the palate, with notes of tobacco, dark chocolate and Mediterranean herbs, followed by flavors of pomegranate and cherry. Opulent tannins skate into a cranberry-tinged finish.

Producer Information

Our wines are created by a vibrant hub of people who love wine and of knowledgeable, passionate and experienced winegrowers and winemakers who have come together to create excellent wine that meets the highest standards, with no compromises and no shortcuts. The place where faith overcame might, where simplicity defeated abundance, where a slim youth could win a victory over a large and seasoned warrior, the symbolic location where David fought Goliath, is where we chose to grow our wine. 5 Stones Vineyards is located in Tel Azekah in the Elah Valley, in the region of the mythological battle between David and Goliath in 1010 BCE. The Elah Valley is at an important crossroad between the coastal plains and Jerusalem and Bethlehem, and due to its geographical and agricultural advantages it was already populated in Israel’s tribal period. The valley is long and narrow with fertile soil and a high precipitation level, which together create an ideal habitat for growing quality vines. Expansive green spaces, a diverse abundance of wild flowers, the surrounding forests and impressive archeological sites makes the Elah Valley one of the most beautiful nature venues in Israel.
