Vinification of the Mount Hermon Red from Golan Heights Winery The grapes for the Mount Hermon Red are cultivated in the high-altitude vineyards of the Golan Heights. The climate there is characterized by cool nights and warm daytime temperatures. These conditions promote slow ripening of the grapes, fostering optimal development of aromatic and flavor characteristics. The harvest takes place in the early morning hours to preserve freshness and aromatics. The grapes are carefully harvested using modern handpicking methods to avoid damaging the berries. After harvesting, the grapes are sorted and gently crushed. The fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures between 24 and 28 degrees Celsius in stainless steel tanks to preserve the complex fruit aromas. During alcoholic fermentation, additional aromas develop, and the color intensifies. After fermentation, malolactic fermentation takes place, converting malic acid into lactic acid. This process gives the wine its velvety texture and softens harsh tannins. The maturation of the Mount Hermon Red takes place in selected oak barrels, where it ages for at least 12 months. Storage in barriques allows the wine's fruit to merge with complex wood notes. During this time, the wine gains finesse and elegance, making it even more layered. The final blending is done thoughtfully to ensure a perfect balance between fruit, tannin, and spice. The product is thus a lively, long-lasting representative of regional red wines, which reveals its full potential after aging in the glass.
