Kosher wine. Drink now or cellar for up to 9 years. No need to decant before serving. The tzora estate is located high in the judean hills and is widely regarded as one of the best of israel’s pioneering modern wineries. Although wine has been made here for over 5000 years, over the past couple of decades innovative winemakers have begun to revitalize the wine industry here, realising the potential of the gentle mediterranean climate in the judean hills and the high elevation which helps to preserve freshness in the grapes. Tzora’s shoresh wine is crafted in collaboration with mr. Jean-claude berrouet who formerly was the technical director at chateau pétrus. Grapes are carefully sourced from the estate’s shoresh vineyard where the rocky soils provide a challenging environment for the syrah, cabernet sauvignon, and petit verdot vines. This forces them to produce lower yields of more intensely concentrated and flavoured grapes which in turn produce this remarkable wine. Following the fermentation process the wine is aged in french oak barrels for 16 months to fully integrate the different varietal components and add extra complexity to the finished wine. The result is a very polished old world style red which will continue to develop and evolve if cellared over the next decade or so.
