100% Chardonnay
The grapes for the Psagot Chardonnay were hand harvested at night from our finest plots of our highest quality vineyards in the Jerusalem Mountains.
The Psagot Chardonnay started fermentation in stainless steel, then went into new 300L Hungarian and French oak barrels, where it aged for 6 months creating a liquid perfume of refreshingly stylish, elegant and caressing complexity.
The nose and palate reveal lifted, rich and well-integrated fruit and oak, perfectly balanced from aging in French and Hungarian oak barrels.
