Carmel Winery Kayoumi Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Vineyards: The Kayoumi Vineyard is located between Miron and Kadita in the Upper Galilee, planted on a south easterly facing slope at an altitude of about 750 meters above sea level. The climate is typically cool throughout the year with northwestern winds and is often frequented by snow in the winter. The shallow soil mostly consists of generic Terre Rossa and contains a high percentage of stone.

Vinification: The grapes were harvested at night and processed at the Kayoumi Winery, located in close proximity to the vineyard. Following fermentation and maceration with the grape skins to give an elegant flavor-filled structure, the wine was aged in French oak barrels for 15 months.

The wine was ready to drink immediately upon its release, but is expected to age up to a decade from vintage, if stored in suitable conditions.

Alcohol: 14.5%
