Bin Chardonnay
Binyamina, Galilee, Israel
Binyamina Winery – Chardonnay 2023
Galilee, Israel 🇮🇱
Overview
A 100% Chardonnay, kosher-certified, from the Galilee appellation. This region’s cooler climate and limestone-rich soils give freshness and tension to the wines.
Aromas & Flavors
Bright citrus-driven aromas, especially lemon peel and lime zest, with hints of green apple and white blossom. The palate leans crisp and aromatic, staying firmly on the refreshing side rather than buttery or oaky.
Mouthfeel
Light to medium-bodied, zesty and linear with lively acidity. Clean finish that feels vibrant and snappy.
Food Pairings
Perfect with grilled fish, fresh goat cheese, sushi, or Mediterranean mezze plates. Also a natural fit for Shabbat tables and kosher dining.
Verdict
A crisp and refreshing Israeli Chardonnay that shows the purity of Galilee terroir. No fuss, just clean and delicious, an easy crowd-pleaser. Cheers!
Did You Know?
The Galilee is one of Israel’s premier wine regions, with vineyards planted at elevations of up to 1,000 meters. The cooler nights here help grapes like Chardonnay retain freshness and acidity, even in a warm Mediterranean climate.

Wine is delightful especially for a chard. Loads of green grape and apple. Light floral note. Really well balanced, light body for a chard but still a bit of heft. Nice acidity. Would recommend. Balances the food (falafel, muhamara, and hummus) nicely.

Nice it had a chance to breathe, it was okay. First taste was super dry.
