WINE DESCRIPTION

Shoresh Blanc is a sophisticated blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Sémillon grapes sourced from the Shoresh Vineyard, known for its old terraces and shallow Terra-Rosa soil over limestone subsoil. This unique terroir imparts distinctive minerality and complexity to the wine. It undergoes cool fermentation followed by 6 months of Sur-Lie aging in French barriques, adding richness and depth to its structure. The result is a beautifully balanced white wine, showcasing the vineyard’s character with layers of fresh fruit, crisp acidity, and a lingering finish. A true expression of the Shoresh terroir.
