Description:

The Wine

The 2005 Golan Chardonnay shows off bright lemon and apricot notes, rounded out with hints of flowers and tropical fruits. This medium-bodied wine is a great combination of classic Chardonnay character and easy drinkability. Golan Chardonnay is ready to enjoy yet will remain in good drinking condition for about three years from the vintage. We do not
think twice before opening a bottle to accompany that fish right off the grill or that perfectly roasted chicken, hot out of the oven.

The Vintage

The winter preceding the vintage combined colder than average temperatures with normal precipitation. The cold weather ended with an uncommonly warm March and April, causing early budbreak in warmer vineyards. Unusually cool weather returned in May and stayed for the remainder of the season, resulting in a normal 14 week harvest starting and finishing on typical dates. All the Chardonnay fruit used in this Golan Chardonnay comes from vineyards in the cool, northern Golan Heights.
Very light use of oak accentuates the variety's natural fruitiness.

The Appellation

The Galilee (or Galil) is the most northern, and generally considered the best, appellation in Israel. The highest quality area within the appellation is the Golan Heights (or simply the Golan), the coldest region in Israel. The vineyards on this volcanic plateau rise from 400 meters (1,300 feet) above sea level to 1,200 meters (3,900 feet) and receive snowfall in the winter. The Golan Heights Winery is located in the town of Katzrin, in the central Golan.
