Dokonalá Binyamina Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 - suché červené víno

Product detailed description

Binyamina Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is one of our best-selling premium wines. This noble grape variety comes from vineyards planted in two adjacent appellations: the Upper Galilee, on a combination of basalt and terra rossa soils over a layer of hard limestone bedrock with effective root aeration; and the middle of the Golan Heights with deep, basalt soil and good drainage.

These two areas enjoy a cool climate with cool summer nights, hot summer days and low humidity. These conditions favour prolonged ripening and ideal development of the colour, aroma and flavour of the grapes.

The winemaking process

The grapes from both regions are harvested after dark, with each vineyard harvested at a slightly different time for optimum ripeness. The grapes are de-stemmed as soon as they arrive at the winery and begin fermentation in small and medium-sized tanks of 5-12 tonnes for fermentation and flavour extraction. The grapes undergo one to two weeks of skin contact before pressing. This is followed by malolactic fermentation and light clarification, and the wine is then transferred to French oak barrels, 30 % of which are new, for maturation for 18 months. The blend is then selected from different parcels and the wine is bottled with minimal clarification and filtration.

Tasting notes

Binyamina Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is characterised by its moderate ripeness and excellent balance between freshness and concentration of ripe fruit flavours. Its rich, dark colour, concentrated aromas and flavours, complementary acidity and high complexity are the result of optimal ageing conditions and varied terroirs. Moreover, the reduced yields of the vineyards allow the wine to achieve a perfect, refined balance.

The wine has a deep ruby-black colour with a distinctive bouquet of ripe blackberries, cherries, cassis and roasted coffee, which are typical characteristics of Cabernet from the estate. With a full, balanced and generous body, this wine is ready to drink as is but will continue to evolve for four to eight years from the date of vintage.
