GAMLA Rose 2016

Kosher for Passover. 

The Wine

The 2016 Gamla Syrah presents cherry, raspberry and plum fruit notes, along with characters of tobacco, black tea, earth, smoke and French oak. This attractive Syrah is full-bodied and flavorful.

The Vintage

The 2016 Gamla Syrah was produced solely from Syrah fruit grown in vineyards on the cool Golan Heights. The wine aged in in French oak barrels for 12 months.

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. Golan Heights Winery is located in the town of Katzrin in the central Golan.
