Shalem Dry White Blend 2015

#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.

Absentee Winery (Avi Deixler)

“Western Art” Petite Sirah

This wine has the most incredibly unexpected flavor, and I absolutely love it. It smells like a typical California jam hands cab, not my fav, expecting the worst. Then it hits your mouth like a Loire gamay and it’s SO GOOD. Complicated, interesting, so so unexpected, right up til the moment you taste it. — 6 years ago

St. John

Crémant de Limoux Chardonnay Chenin Blanc 2023

Enjoyed St. John’s Cremant at St. John’s Restaurant in London, with Dreama, Rachel, Avi and Emily, during our trip to attend Emily’s graduation from Cambridge. Crisp and bubbly, citrusy without being too sour, delightful with Roast Middle White. Gaudeamus igitur! — a month ago

Dry White Sauvignon Blanc 2017

second bottle from a feldstein threesome.
last year i had 2016 vintage, and now it's 2017.

2016 was probably the best sauv blanc i ever had. this comes pretty close but i reckon it lacks.

upper Galilee sauv blanc with a touch of semion (winemaker's description)

fermented with three types of yeast in burgundy barrels and stayed there for a year.


13.2% ABV

transparent greenish 👀

citrus buffet (mostly grapefruit), grass, and some flowers right out of the fridge. as it got warmer hints of apricot and peach with a memory of tropics joined the 👃

full body.
medium + acidity.

bitterness first that moves away fast to make place for the juicy citrusy buffet with a coming and going background of minerals, stone fruit and memories of tropical fruits served on a far away 🏖️ 👄

long and pleasent 🎯

this is a full body wine that's so quiet, modest and elegant. superb.


i think avi feldstein creates magic.

i have a 2015 vintage bottle of the same wine, looking forward to that.

excellent vfm (90 nis as part of a threesome).

worked wonderful with home made pizza with mushrooms, onion, feta style cheese and olives.
was terrific the next day with soviet style buckwheat with tahini and mentioned feta the next day.

great on it's own as well

Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2016

@delectable this is sauvignon only officially (90 percent so it doesnt count as a blend even with that semmilon bit)

no real conditions for a tasting but this is so lovely i have to try describing it.

90% sauvignon blanc
10% semmilion

three types of yeast were added to fermentation.
one year burgundy barrels ageing.

13.3% abv

medium plus body.
high acidity.

mind and senses blowing sauvignon blanc.

melon, grass and bell pepper 👃

bitterness first with added citrus peel and some tropics 👄

light 🎯

complex and balanced lingering pleasure.

this is superb.

3rd white from feldstein and it keeps getting better.

super vfm (for 90 nis as part of a threesome. regular price is 125 nis and still worth it)

paired well with zaatar and 🍅 spicy salad and homemade hummus and pita bread.

my highest score wine in delectable.
