Five Stones Vineyards
Nobility 215a Dry Chardonnay Sauvignon Blanc
Judean Hills, Israel
Five Stones Vineyards – Nobility 215a White Blend 2024
Judean Hills – Israel 🇮🇱
Overview
A tribute wine named after Sergeant Maj. Yitzhak Tamir, Nobility 215a is composed of 95% Chardonnay and 5% Sauvignon Blanc, aged in French oak. The 2024 vintage shows a fresher, more youthful expression compared to the richer 2021, with vibrant fruit and a refined oak touch.
Aromas & Flavors
Fresh orchard fruit leads: pear, green apple, and lemon zest, layered with melon and subtle tropical hints. Lighter toast and vanilla than the 2021, letting citrus, white flowers, and a gentle saline edge shine through.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied, crisp, and polished. Oak brings a subtle creamy texture, but the 2024 leans brighter and more linear, with lively acidity carrying a long, elegant finish.
Food Pairings
Pairs beautifully with grilled sea bass, lemon-roast chicken, or creamy seafood risotto. Also complements Mediterranean cheeses and lighter pasta dishes.
Verdict
The 2024 Nobility 215a is fresher, sleeker, and more fruit-driven than its 2021 predecessor, while still carrying the oak-aged elegance that defines the cuvée. A polished white blend that balances tribute, terroir, and modern winemaking. 🍷cheers!
