Dalton - Single Vineyard Elkosh Cabernet Sauvignon

Die Weingärten: The Elkosh Vineyard is close to Moshav Elkosh and descends towards Nahal Matat. The site at 720 meters is bounded by Mount Biranit to the north Fasuta and Mount Tzonam to the west and Mount Matat to the east. The Elkosh Vineyard was planted in 2009. The logo on the label represents an ammonite fossil, as so many were found during the preparation of the vineyard site.

Weinproduktion: The grapes were picked in the last week of September. During fermentation the grape cap was pumped-over several times a day to increase the depth of colour and levels of extraction of the wine. After the wine was pressed out, and the free run wine was separated and used to make this wine. The wine was aged for 18 months in French Oak, and only the finest barrels were selected to make this wine. The wine was only coarse filtered before bottling.

Geschmacksnoten: Cabernet Elkosh is a full-bodied elegant wine with nuances of berries, black cherries, hyssop and wild mint. The wine will age well over the coming decade.
