YardenHeights Wine (Dessert)

The Wine

The Yarden HeightsWine is a richly aromatic dessert wine showing off characters of litchi, apricot, peach and spice, along with notes of fresh flowers and orange zest. With good acidity, this sweet and intensely flavored wine exhibits delicious and lingering flavor.

Yarden HeightsWine will continue developing in the bottle, taking on alluring marmalade notes, and should stay in excellent drinking condition for a decade or more from vintage. Serve the wine alone as an aperitif, or pair it with fresh fruit and cheese or a sweet fruit-based dessert such as peach tarte Tatin.

Yarden HeightsWine is produced exclusively from Gewurztraminer fruit harvested from vineyards located on the cool northern Golan Heights. Hand-picked whole clusters of very ripe grapes are brought to the winery and cooled to -12^oC (10^oF) over a one-month period. The clusters are gently pressed while still frozen to gradually yield rich and concentrated juice, which slowly ferments over a few months.
