Grown mostly in the area around Bethlehem and Hebron in Palestinian territories, the vineyards are located at 2600 ft of altitude. This cooler micro-climate ensures longer hang-times, more controlled ripening and an overall better structure of acids/sugars in the grapes.
Baladi wine is obtained from an indigenous Palestinian grape called Baladi Aswad (black).
Variety
Baladi grape, characterized by elliptic black berries.
Harvest:
Practicing Organic. The grapes ripen at the beginning of September. They are handpicked in small boxes, during the first hours of the day or at night to preserve the varietal aroma.
Fermentation: The destemmed grapes are fermented with the skin and seeds using selected yeasts at a controlled temperature, thus obtaining a wine with good color and aroma.
The wine is aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 14 months, then the wine is cooled down to -4 degrees Celsius for 10 days and then filtered twice before bottling.
This wine is fresh with generous aromas of ripe berries, baking spices, ripe plum, cranberry, and vanilla. Flavors of black cherry, mild herbs, and allspice with a lively acidity and soft tannins make the wine perfect for chilling and is enjoyable alone or with food.
Food Pairing: Goes well with sirloin, spiced sausage, sautéed mushroom, lamb and game meats.
