Five Stones Vineyards – Nobility 215a White Blend – 2023
Judean Hills – Israel 🇮🇱

Overview
A tribute cuvée composed of 95% Chardonnay and 5% Sauvignon Blanc, aged in French oak. The 2023 vintage sits beautifully between the richer 2021 and the brighter 2024, showing greater depth, more mid-palate weight, and a remarkably polished finish, arguably the most complete expression of Nobility 215a to date.

Aromas & Flavors
Ripe pear, baked apple, lemon curd, and subtle pineapple, woven with toasted brioche, vanilla bean, and delicate spice. Compared to 2024, this vintage reveals more concentration, smoother integration of oak, and a gentle mineral note that adds refinement.

Mouthfeel
Medium-plus body, rounder and more structured than 2024, with a creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity. The finish is long, elegant, and beautifully layered, showing the precision of high-altitude Judean Hills fruit.

Food Pairings
Butter-poached halibut, roast chicken with herbs, creamy pasta, seared scallops, or soft Mediterranean cheeses.

Verdict
The 2023 Nobility 215a is the standout vintage, richer than 2024, more focused than 2021, and exceptionally well-balanced. A sophisticated Israeli white showcasing tension, elegance, and depth in perfect harmony.
