The Golan Heights Winery, located in northern Israel’s chilly, snow-covered winters, creates a unique terroir ideal for producing distinctive wines. The 2023 Yarden Gewurztraminer displays a pale yellow hue, nearly translucent rather than the typical deep gold. It offers a pronounced mineral character with notes of bitter lemon, grapefruit, and a subtle limestone-like texture. This wine is full-bodied and spicy, with notable bitterness and alcohol presence. The finish is dominated by intense spice and citrus, where acidity is subdued by the prevailing bitterness and alcohol. This is a dry, non-sweet expression.
