Dry Red Wine
Malbec is the basis of the dark, inky color and robust tannins of the famous wines of Cahors. It has also become known for the rich, plush wines produced from it at higher altitudes in Argentina. As the variety needs more sun and heat to fully develop than Cabernet Sauvignon, it is a natural choice for Israel. In our Galil vineyards in northern Israel, it develops intense color, structure and plum-like aromas that pairs well with grilled meats, pasta and rich sauces.
