Hendrick Thoma writes about the Altitude series:
The spiciest and pepperiest drop in the series is the +720 from Mount Godrim, very close to the Lebanese border. An ethereally scented drop with the aromas of black olives, mint and tobacco aromas. You can notice the harsh climate of the mountains. Its tannins are grainy and dry, but not drying.
Growing area: Mount Godrim / Lebanon border
Expansion / Sweetness: red, dry, kosher / red, dry, kosher
Hendrick Thoma writes about the Altitude series:
The Altitude + 624 is my personal favorite of the series. Licorice. Spice, slightly firmer in structure than the +412 with a decadent chocolaty finish and robust acidity. An elegant fabric. It comes from a vineyard in northern Galilee. Analysis: 14% vol., acid 6.0 g/l, pH 3.62, density 0.993
Manufacturer / Producer: Barkan Wine Cellars Kibbutz Hulda Israel
Growing area: Kibbutz Alma / Lebanon border,
Hendrick Thoma writes about the Altitude series:
It is a great pleasure to taste all three wines side by side.
Altitude +412 comes from the volcanic soils of the Golan Heights. A rich, generous drop with a pronounced cassis liqueur scent and warming note, the most approachable of the trio. Analysis: 14% vol., acidity 6.1 g/l, pH 3.59, density 0.993
