winemaker's notes:

On the nose, this wine does not need to breathe. From the beginning, it reveals a pleasant bouquet which evolves, in stages, from the balsamic aroma of the still glass to oaky vanilla after swirling it in the glass, passing through an intermediate spicy phase.
Dark colour in the bulb of the wine glass, with a cherry red rim which, depending on the light, can reflect a slightly yellowish tinge from the ageing.
In the mouth the tannin soon appears on the central part of the tongue, very quickly fading from the front to linger on the edges, while the sensation on the palate evolves from freshness on the hard palate to finish on the soft palate with a sensation of warmth and finally leaving a sensation of toast underneath the tongue.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
