Israel

Family winery since 1848 in Jerusalem. The CAPITAL label represents quality and elegance. The wine was made from the finest vineyards in the Judean HIls. It was aged in small French oak barrels for 10 months.

This special dessert wine is made from Gewürztraminer grapes, using ancient Madeira-style technology based on late harvest of fully ripe grapes, most of which are shriveled. The wine is aged in outdoor oak barrels for a year.

This wine is produced from exquisitely balanced grapes grown in Segal's Dishon Vineyard. The vineyard, in the Kadesh Valley in the northern Galilee, is planted on well-drained, dark soil at a height of 430 meters above sea level. Select blocks of the vineyard are densely planted, and strict vineyard management limits the yield, thus intensifying the grapes' natural sugar, acid, and color. Rich tannins enhance the fruit's quality.

The first impression of the luxurious "Yarden Rom" with a hint of its inspiring aroma points to richness. The "Yarden Rome" delicately and finely structured spoils the nose with characters of ripe red and black fruits. This wonderful bouquet, is accompanied by pleasant notes of dark chocolate, orange peel, dried flowers, anise, cocoa, smoke and earth. This opulent wine is full-bodied and shows concentrated scents and a very long, elegant finish.

In 1848, with the rejuvenation of the Jewish settlement in Jerusalem, Yitzhak Galina-Shor opened the first winery in Israel, in a basement adjunct to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. During the eight generations since its foundation, 1848 Winery continued to grow and gain recognition for its quality wines, re-positioned into several locations, but maintained a tradition of wine production as a way of life.
