Carmel Ridge, White, 2009

Carmel Winery was founded in 1882 by Baron Edmond de Rothschild, owner of Château Lâfite. The main winery is situated at Zichron Ya'acov, on the slopes of Mt.Carmel overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Carmel remains the largest winery in Israel, with vineyards all over the country, but is particularly well represented in the cooler climate, higher altitude Upper Galilee. The winemaker is Lior Lacser, who studied in Beaune and worked in Burgundy and Bordeaux before joining Carmel. Carmel wines are Kosher, and suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Made with a blend of Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Colombard and Semillon, this wine is light-bodied, dry, with aromas of lemon, pear and lime. Clean and refreshing.
