Clos de Gat Chardonnay 2023
Clos de Gat Chardonnay is crafted at the estate's vineyards in the Ayalon Valley, nestled in the foothills of the Judean Mountains in Israel. Founded in 1998 by owner-winemaker Eyal Rotem around an ancient Roman-era wine press, Clos de Gat produces wines of genuine elegance and terroir-driven character — and this Chardonnay is a compelling example of what Israeli white wine can achieve. Why You'll Love It This is Israeli Chardonnay at its most refined — fresh, precise, and beautifully balanced. Rotem's meticulous approach in the vineyard and winery results in a white wine that rivals the best of Burgundy in its harmony of fruit, acidity, and oak. A genuine discovery for lovers of serious, food-friendly Chardonnay. Vineyard & Production Grown on limestone-rich soils under a Mediterranean climate in the Judean foothills, the Chardonnay grapes are carefully selected and vinified with precision to preserve aromatic purity and natural acidity. Gentle oak ageing adds texture and complexity, creating a harmonious balance between vibrant fruit and subtle oak influence without overpowering the wine's inherent freshness. Tasting Notes Pale gold in the glass, the Clos de Gat Chardonnay opens with an elegant, complex nose of citrus fruits, orange blossom, and delicate spice. On the palate it is fresh and lively, with beautifully integrated acidity, a creamy mid-palate, and a long, lingering finish. Perfect Pairings A versatile food wine — excellent with grilled or roasted fish, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, and soft or semi-hard cheeses. Also a natural match for Middle Eastern mezze and vegetable-based dishes. The Grape Chardonnay 100% — Judean Mountains, Israel
Louis Cheze Pagus Luminis Condrieu 2023
' The family property was taken over in 1978 by Louis Chèze. The Domaine Louis Chèze is located on the top of the hillside of the commune of Limony, on the right bank of the Rhône, 60 Kms south of Lyon, in the heart of the northern Côtes du Rhône vineyard area. Monsieur Chèze started the adventure with 1 Ha in Saint-Joseph and a few vines he rented. Today, the estate represents 45 Ha in the prestigious appellations such as Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, Côte-Rôtie as well as well-situated vineyards in Vins de Pays districts. Since the year 2000, he is one of the forerunners with two winegrower friends reviving the fabulous Roman terroir of Seyssuel. Louis' determination, curiosity and rigour are of the utmost importance when it comes to monitoring the vineyard and making the wines. Each vintage is an in-depth search to capture the quintessence of the terroirs. Numerous vintages, each with their own differences will delight the wine and food lover in you. '
