Terrior
The Galilee region, and particularly the elevated slopes of Mount Hermon, provides a cool climate with significant diurnal temperature variation. The volcanic soils and high altitude contribute to both mineral complexity and balanced acidity, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and retain fresh, bright flavors.

Appearance
Pale straw yellow with greenish hues, clear and youthful.

Nose
Aromas of citrus, green apple, and pear, layered with floral notes of jasmine and hints of tropical fruit, like pineapple and melon. Subtle undertones of fresh herbs and a mineral edge reflect the region’s volcanic soil.

Palate
Light-bodied with a crisp acidity, featuring flavors of lemon, grapefruit, and green melon. The wine is smooth and refreshing, with a balanced structure and a touch of minerality that adds depth. The fruit-forward profile is complemented by a light herbal nuance, giving it complexity without heaviness.

Finish
Clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus and a touch of saline minerality, leaving a bright, crisp finish.
