Barkan Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Mevushal 2023

Barkan's Galil vineyards in Northern Israel produce rich, ripe Cabernet Sauvignon grapes during the growing season. The wine displays a deep, ruby-red color, a bouquet redolent of spicy berry aromas intermingled with oak, and a full, round body making it perfect for serving with grilled meats and sauces.

Barkan Winery was founded in 1990 by Yair Lerner and Shmuel Boxer. They immediately set forth on a program of modernization and the planting of vineyards in and around Barkan, which they saw as the key to the production of fine wine and expansion of the company. In 2000, a state-of-the-art, modern winery was built in Kibbutz Hulda. This location was chosen because for its proximity to the vineyards of Hulda as well as its central location, close to major roads and removed from urban areas. The winery's location allows the grapes to be quickly transported to the winery, to ensure freshness and to maximize quality. In addition, the strategic location was optimal for distribution of bottled wine to the market. Barkan Winery's bottling facilities were moved to Hulda in 2003, followed by the moving of their offices in 2004. Since 2007, the entire Barkan Winery operation is located at Kibbutz Hulda with the completion of their new warehouse. As the second largest winery in Israel, Barkan Winery receives over 8,000 tons of grapes during the harvest, and devotes nights and days throughout the year to ensure that the fruit received from the vineyard is the best possible. This devotion continues with all of the staff through harvest, winemaking, bottling, marketing, and sales; all done to ensure that the bottle that you open will be the best that can be made.
