Maia by Tulip Winery, Mare Red 2023
Galilee, Israel 🇮🇱

Overview
A socially impactful wine made in Kfar Tikva (“Village of Hope”), where adults with special needs are part of every step in the winery’s operations. A Mediterranean-inspired red blend of 70% Carignan, 20% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre, this is both delicious and meaningful.

Aromas & Flavors
Juicy berries, smoky red fruit, black pepper, and violets rise from the glass. On the palate, soft waves of red fruit cascade gently with floral and earthy hints, supported by subtle oak and spice.

Mouthfeel
Light-to-medium body, silky tannins, and a very approachable balance. Smooth, joyful, and easy to sip.

Food Pairing
Mediterranean mezze, hummus, dolmas, grilled fish, or casual movie-night snacks.

Verdict
Inclusive winemaking with a social purpose — and the wine is genuinely delicious. Smooth, versatile, and uplifting in every sense. Maia by Tulip Mare Red 2023
A wine with purpose, heart, and undeniable Mediterranean charm.

This beautiful red blend; 70% Carignan, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, it comes from the hills of Kfar Tikva, Israel, a unique village where adults with special needs are fully involved in every stage of the winemaking process. It’s more than just a wine; it’s a celebration of inclusion, dignity, and community.

On the nose, it bursts with ripe red berries, hints of smokiness, a touch of spice (black pepper, clove), and gentle earthy and floral tones. The 8 months of French oak aging adds a soft whisper of vanilla and structure.

The palate? Pure joy. It’s silky, medium-bodied, fruit-forward, and beautifully balanced, a red that dances lightly but leaves a lasting impression. Think red currant, cherry compote, and a breeze of Mediterranean herbs.

Mouthfeel: Light to medium body, super approachable, with soft tannins and a clean, lingering finish. Utterly charming.

Perfect pairings? Hummus, grilled veggies, dolmas, lean meats, even roasted fish. Or? Just you, a cozy couch, some popcorn or crackers, and your favorite movie. 🍿🍷

Versatile. Uplifting. And truly delicious.
Cheers to wine with meaning!
