WINE DESCRIPTION
The Tulip Cabernet Sauvignon Upper Galilee from Tulip Winery in Israel is a balanced blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, and Viognier. After a meticulous grape harvest, the grapes are swiftly transported to the press house for selection and gentle crushing. Fermentation occurs in small wooden vats at controlled temperatures, ensuring optimal flavor extraction. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged for several months in oak barrels, which imparts additional complexity and depth. The result is a well-rounded wine that showcases the careful vinification process and the unique characteristics of the Upper Galilee region.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Tulip Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich and full-bodied red wine with a deep ruby color.On the nose, it exhibits intense aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, accompanied by hints of cedar, tobacco, and vanilla. The palate is well-structured, with firm tannins and a good balance of acidity. Flavors of ripe dark fruits, such as black cherry and blackcurrant, dominate, along with notes of chocolate and spice. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant impression. Overall, Tulip Cabernet Sauvignon is a sophisticated and elegant wine that pairs well with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
