Recanati Wild Carignan Reserve

Description

Recanati Wild Carignan Reserve - The grapes are hand-picked and brought to the winery. There they are destemmed, cold macerated, fermented and pressed. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, about half of which are new. This way, the flavours and aromas of oak do not dominate the exclusive flavours and aromas of the fruit. The wine is then bottled only after rough filtration and drunk as is - authentic, wild and Israeli.

The winery believes it is important to let the wine retain its natural flavour. Therefore, the wine is not filtered or clarified. This means there may be small particles in the wine, such as yeast cells or lees. These particles give the wine its unique flavour and aroma.

Description

Recanati Winery

Recanati Winery was founded in 2000 by Lenny Recanati and Uri Shaked. Their goal was to create a new winery that would produce original Israeli quality wine. The philosophy of the winery is to produce local and original wines, wines that best express the local terroir.

The winemaking process is led by chief winemaker Kobi Arviv, who began his career at the winery in 2006. Arviv, a talented and original winemaker, believes in matching Mediterranean varieties to the Israeli climate. The winery has vineyards in the best growing areas in the country, and is very particular about growing unique Mediterranean varieties like Petite Sirah, Marselan and Carignan, and local varieties like Marawi. Classic international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay are also cherished.

The winery is proud of its unprecedented achievements in recent years, both locally and internationally. However, the winery does not rest on its laurels and continues to cultivate new vineyards, conduct agricultural and wine research, and - most importantly - produce wine with great passion and a constant drive to improve and maximise the beautiful Israeli terroir at its disposal. Recanati Winery, the symbol of excellence.
