Shvo Vineyards
Upper Galilee Sauvignon Blanc
Upper Galilee - Judean Hills, Israel
Solid. I am getting wine(d) out. But it’s been fun checking out Israeli vino while on a work trip. This is really good. Light to medium. Starts really laser focused crisp SB written all over it. Then opens up a bit and shows some salinity.

Minimal interventionalist 100% whole cluster pressed Sauv Blanc grown in flinty silex. Very aromatic, green pear, grapefruit, herbaceous, surprising! Indigenous yeast fermentation and all neutral French oak, 9 months on lees

1 person found it helpfulOct 24th, 2013second bottle for me from hyped boutique shvo vineyard.
non kosher and sustainable, supposedly.
12.5% ABV
pale green 👀
pineapple and hinted flint👃
medium minus body.
medium minus acidity.
tropics and lemon with biterness on the side and some hinted funk 👄
light 🎯 with some juicy feeling.
can't say i was amazed but well done with firm balanced structure.
great vfm (75 nis).
had it all day long while vacationing in a hotel with the family.
as the time passed bitterness was felt more and funkness became dryness.
not my fave style sauvignon blanc but still very good.
hope to try the shvo chenin soon.

Nice! Freshly cut grass, apple/melon/pear/celery. Maybe lacking some acidic bite.
