  February 20, 2019 - The Yarden Blanc de Blancs is made entirely from Chardonnay grapes grown in the northern Golan Heights, Israel’s coolest viticultural area. The wine is made strictly according to the traditional method (méthode champenoise) including hand harvesting, pressing of whole clusters to increase acidity and fruit flavors, and secondary fermentation in the bottle. Disgorging took place after five years of bottle aging on the tirage yeast.
  The wine has aged beautifully, showing an intense nose of nuts, fruit, lemon curd, peach and apple cobbler, brioche, and nice toast that gives way to ripe green and yellow apple. The mouth on this medium-bodied wine has calmed down with age, it shows less ripe, with baked anjou pear, with a still very acidic core, and small mousse bubbles, with lovely yeast, and orange flavors!! The finish is long and tart with insane grapefruit, bitter and rich grapefruit pith, and lemon zest. Bravo!!!
