The 2008 Gamla White Riesling combines scents of fresh flowers with citrus and tropical fruit notes. Hints of pine needles and just-picked mint round out the wine’s character. A touch of residual sweetness accents the wine's natural fruitiness.
Gamla White Riesling is best enjoyed within a couple of years of the harvest. We like drinking this Riesling as an aperitif before a good meal, along with mixed appetizers, or with foods that have a touch of spicy heat to them.

The Appellation
The Galilee (or Galil) is the most northern, and generally considered the best, appellation in Israel. The highest quality area within the appellation is the Golan Heights (or simply the Golan), the coldest region in Israel. The vineyards on this volcanic plateau rise from 400 meters (1,300 feet) above sea level to 1,200 meters (3,900 feet) and receive snowfall in the winter. The Golan Heights Winery is located in the town of Katzrin,in the central Golan.
