Avi Feldstein
Dry White Sauvignon Blanc
third vintage I'm trying. this is the oldest in terms of age.
90% sauvignon blanc
10% Sémillon
3 different yeasts fermented and aged for a year in Burgundy marsena barrels (new, one year old and two years old).
13.3% ABV
usual transparent green, with hinted gold 👀
mostly mushroom, dirt and variety nuts bag with some dried fruits, hints of lemon, pear and hints of hints of mango👃
medium + body.
high acidity.
pleasent biterness, 🍋juice with added pulp and a lot of nutiness and complicated age characteristics including tar and dried shitake mushrooms. also some grass and hinted stone fruit and mango 👄
long 🎯
so interesting to taste it aged.
not sure if it's better for me compared to a more recent vintage,
but I'd sure love to to switch between a fresher one, this one and a two more years in the bottle one in different days of the week.
90 nis (as part of a threesome) unbelievable vfm.
paired lovely with dairy and salad based supper then brunch.

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
