Psagot Viognier –
Winner of the Arad Medal in the 2007 Eshkol Hazahav Competition
Psagot Viognier is produced from Viognier grapes which were harvested from
the vineyards of Moshav Mata in the Judean mountains. The vineyard is located
within a deep wadi that preserves a high humidity and low temperatures even
on the hottest days of the year. Half of the wine is aged in new 500-liter French
oak wood barrels, and half is aged in stainless steel tanks. The aging process
is carried out sur lie (on the lees) for eight months. The wine is characterized
with deep, rich floral aromas of anise, apricot, honey and lemon. The wine is light
and easy to drink and is especially compatible with grilled fish, pasta with
vegetables and various types of quiches
