- liGilgal Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 is a flavorful, drinkable Cabernet presenting good body and a long finish. With black current and cherry fruit notes, this elegant wine has excellent potential for aging for years to come.
- Hermon Indigo 2013 not only displays a unique deep purple color, this fresh, young and fruity wine, with plum fruit notes and a hint of smoke, is a fun to drink and enjoy every day.
- Gilgal Sangiovese 2012 has medium body, great structure and shows a range of fruit scents balanced out with potpourri and spice characters. This enjoyable Mediterranean wine has good acidity structure and is the perfect beverage for the long summer days.
- Gilgal Cabernet Merlot 2012 combines cherry, orange zest and berry notes with a hint of fresh herbs. A equal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, this complex wine presents medium to heave body with a satisfying flavor.
- Herman Red 2013 , one of Golan Heights Winery’s most popular and best value wines is wonderfully versatile, pairing equally well with a hamburger fresh from the barbeque or a hearty serving of lasagna. Ready to drink now, the Hermon Red will stay in excellent drinking condition for about 4 years from vintage.
Anat Levy, CEO of Golan Heights Winery, said “It’s a great honor for so many of our wines to receive such high scores. This highlights our commitment to bringing the best in Israeli winemaking to the world stage.”
