Wine

In 1848, with the rejuvenation of the Jewish settlement in Jerusalem, Yitzhak Galina-Shor opened the first winery in Israel, in a basement adjunct to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. During the eight generations since its foundation, 1848 Winery continued to grow and gain recognition for its quality wines, re-positioned into several locations, but maintained a tradition of wine production as a way of life.

It goes well with barbecue dishes, grilled and roasted meat. This Cabernet has a ruby red color. It is a full bodied wine with a fine silky tannin and a typical black current aroma with a touch of bell pepper.

This top quality wine is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot.

Grapes are harvested by hand, gently crushed, and soft pressed before being transferred to the winery for primary alcoholic fermentation. A second fermentation at low temperature lasts over two months, and the wine is finished with maturation on yeast lees for three months before bottling. 90% Glera, 10% Pinot Noir harvested in the province of Vicenza in the Veneto region of northern Italy.
