Ayalon Valley 2007

Cabernet Sauvignon
Merlot
Petit Verdot

 


Vinification: Traditional, after sorting and crushing the grapes are transferred to closed  fermentation tanks. The wine was aged for
20 months in new French oak barrels, and racked every 4 - 6 months. The final blend was bottled without fining and  filtering.

Tasting Notes: The excellent 2007 vintage reflects perfectly the “terroir” characteristics inherent in the wines of Clos de Gat. The wine has a beautiful deep black red colour with discernible hues of dark purple. On the nose, it reveals aromas of black and red fruits enhanced by notes of discreet oaking and earthy Mediterranean plants and herbs. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and well balanced with fine integrated tannins. The finish is long, complex and elegant.

Drink: 4-10 years from vintage.

Serving Temperature: 16-18°C.

Serving Suggestion: Mediterranean cuisine, grilled & roasted meats, casseroles and cheeses.
