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.
