Yatir – Yatir Forest
A few words about the winery:
A small and quality winery which is located at the foot of the Tel Arad Fortress in Judea. The winery was established in 2000 as a joint venture of the Region’s vine-growers and the Vine-growers Association who discovered the extraordinary potential that lies in the Yatir Region. With its wines, the winery’s main purpose is to emphasize the uniqueness of the Region – the very ‘Yatiric’ nature that makes the winery’s people so proud and arises from vineyards planted at extreme heights under optimal weather conditions, creating a very special area for cultivating crops. Over the years, the southern winery that is located in the heart of the desert has become the symbol of the Region, after its wines gain praises and win medals every year, and were in recent years crowned as the best wines in Israel.
About the wine:
The best leading wine of the Yatir Winery and one of the leading wines in Israel. It is a consistent wine which obtained a grade of 90 points and more from the Wine Advocate Magazine for ten consecutive grave harvests. The Yatir Forest is a multi-varietal blend mainly based on the Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot grapes. The wine combines between power and restraint, and it expresses the ‘Yatiric’ nature, a solid structure and a fragrance of Mediterranean herbs and fruit flavors. The wine is aging for about a year in small wooden barrels, and it is marketed after an additional two-year aging process in a bottle. The wine is aging excellently, and it continues developing for at least a decade after the grape harvest.
