This effervescent sparkling wine exhibits bright yet delicate notes of orange blossoms and green apples, layered with hints of tropical fruits, wild strawberries and fresh flowers.
Serve with any number of rich or salty foods, such as liver paté, caviar and sushi — or enjoy as an aperitif.
Blended with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay fruits from vineyards in the northern Golan Heights, Gilgal Brut is produced strictly according to the traditional method, with quality pressing of whole clusters and secondary fermentation in the bottle. Each bottle ages for a minimum of one year prior to disgorging.
The Galilee (or Galil) is the northernmost — and generally considered the best — appellation in Israel. The highest quality growing area within the appellation is the Golan Heights (or simply the Golan), also the coldest region in Israel. The vineyards on this volcanic plateau rise from 1,300 feet to 3,900 feet above sea level and receive snowfall in the winter. Golan Heights Winery is located in the town of Katzrin in the central Golan.
