White Canaan is a blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and a little Muscat. The exact proportions vary from year to year. The grapes for this wine are usually picked in the early hours during the month of September from the vineyards of the Upper Galilee. The grapes were immediately processed and chilled at the winery. The juice was cool fermented in stainless steel tanks leaving some residual sugar. Following fermentation the wines were blended to make the White Canaan.
