Good right out of the bottle and better with some air time.

Pale lemon in color with a green hue.

Very nice nose of citrus, honeydew, yellow apples, spices, tropical fruits, flowers, melons, pineapples, lemons and minerals.

Light to medium in body with medium plus acidity. Crisp and refreshing.

Dry on the palate with citrus, lemons, apples, pears, spices, minerals, salt, light vegetables and white pepper.

Nice length on the finish with spices and almonds.

This is a very nice wine from Israel. Showing a great nose with a nice mouthfeel. Shows mild complexity on the palate.

Very enjoyable by itself or with food. Good for the pool or parties.

Better when not too cold, and that's when the nose really shines. Loved the nose here.

Would be interesting to see how it evolves in the next 3 years.

I paired it with cheeses and crackers.

Lemon in color with such an interesting nose, that reminds me of a Gewürztraminer.

Light to medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and a little buttery, with nice complexity.

Showing lemons, green apples, limes, light grapefruits, bitter herbs, tropical fruits and spices.

Medium on the finish with lemons and grapefruits.

This 4 year old Israeli Grenache Blanc is still drinking very nicely. Showing a very pretty and unique nose, with lots of tropical fruits.

I've had it before, and it was drinking better. Showing more complexity now, especially on the nose. Will not get any better from this point, so drink up.

A blend of 90% Grenache Blanc and 10% Macabeo from the Galilee region. Aged for 5 months in New French Oak barrels. Kosher and not Mevushal.

13% alcohol by volume.

it's been a few vintages since i had vitkin's entry-level ' white journey'.

starting as a boutique winery avoiding the expected cab sauvignon, Merlot and chardonnay they grew but still play it different.

this is mostly old vine colombard with added granache blanc, chenin, viognier & gewurzterminer. a very small part in oak.

what a lovely surprise. full body and medium - acidity with mostly flowers, some greeness and citrus variety with grapefruit forward.

great 💪 sipper.

exceptional vfm (2 for 120 nis).
