Hand harvested from low yield vineyards, one can discern flavors of cocoa and spice with a down to earth, rich drinkability. Pelter Matar Stratus 2021 is a bold and elegant red wine made entirely from Shiraz grapes grown in Israel’s Upper Galilee. It is aged in oak barrels for over a year, which adds complexity and smooth tannins to its rich structure. The wine features deep flavors of blackberry, plum, and black pepper, with hints of tobacco, vanilla, and earth. Full-bodied and well-balanced, it finishes long and savory, making it a great pairing for grilled meats or hearty dishes.
