Avi Feldstein
Shalem Dry White Blend
Galilee, Israel
#AgedWineTuesday
Beautiful golden in color.
Nose of citrus, lemons, red apples, light sea salt, flowers, peaches, light oak, spices, light earth, minerals and light herbs.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with yellow apples, citrus, light oranges, spices, light wood, limes, light grapefruits, herbs, earth and light vegetables.
Long finish with bitter herbs and spices.
This is a delicious 11 year old White blend from Israel. Well balanced, elegant and rich. Complex and entertaining, tangy and interesting.
Still feels fresh and youthful. I had a few vintages of this wine before, and decided to wait for a few years. I could have waited even longer.
Such an interesting wine. Smells like a Chardonnay /Viognier blend, and on the palate the Sauvignon Blanc is more dominant. The mouthfeel reminds me of a white Burgundy.
Good right out of the bottle, and better when not too cold. Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
A blend of 40% Viognier with Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Dabuki. Aged in used French oak barrels for 10 months.
13.4% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
