There are a lot of wines that have a story that makes them special, and boy, that wine I had over the weekend does too!
Over thousands of years, Jews lived in the best country in the world, Israel. One of the seven species that Israel was blessed with was the grape which was the best in the world. Unfortunately, we were forced into exile for our sins, and those amazing grapes were never seen again. Until Dr. Shivi Drori, a world-renowned wine researcher who dedicated his career to rediscovering the ancient wines and grapes of Israel, uncovered 3 amazing grapes that were native to Israel and used to manufacture wine over 2000 years ago. Among those grapes is the bittuni grape, which I had the pleasure of drinking this past Shabbat.

Gvaot Winery's Bittuni grape wine has a light body, but it is rich and complex with an amazing aroma of red fruit and a nice oak taste and fruits like cherry and apricot and a floral finish. This wine has a smooth taste with a great lingering aftertaste. To enjoy it best, let it air for 20-40 minutes before drinking. In my opinion, this wine is great and the story makes it even better. I rate it 4 out of 5 stars. — 2 years ago

Peaking now, this is just beautiful. Fully developed nose, with tobacco and cassis. The tannins had resolved but the fruit is there, in full bloom. Balanced and harmonious. Only 13% ABV. — 9 years ago

Very light color. At first evokes new world Pinot Noir, but more old world after time to breathe. Earthy, some fruit. Low acid. Nice overall balance. — 8 years ago
