Description
The wine is comprised of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and 35% Petit Verdot. The composition of the varieties varies from one year to the next, depending on the nature of the harvest and in order to accentuate the Yatir character and quality and the uniqueness of the region and its vineyards. The winery’s vineyards are planted on top of slopes in the heart of the Yatir Forest, rising to an altitude of 900 meters above sea level and located just a few minutes’ drive away from the Winery. The planted grape varieties benefit from ideal conditions for wine-grape growing. The grapes are from several plots in the Yatir Forest, located at an altitude of 650-900 meters, generating wines of the highest quality in a given vintage year. The wine was aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, with a third of them being new. The wine was bottled in February of 2013 and was left to further age at the Winery for an additional period of a year and a half in the bottle. Suitable for further aging for a period of 10 years or more.
