Ashkar – Shiraz

The Ashkar Winery’s Shiraz wine from the Galilee Highlands region is a red wine made from Shiraz grapes grown in the vineyards of the Galilee Highlands in northern Israel. The wine is made in a traditional style, with a focus on highlighting the characteristics of the Shiraz grape. This particular dry wine showcases the distinct regional qualities of forest berries and dark chocolate, which are elegantly intertwined with notes of black pepper and other spices. The handpicked Shiraz grapes originate from a stunning vineyard situated on the mountainous terrain of Deir Al Assad village. After aging for 12 months in new American oak barrels, this wine reveals the distinct regional flavors of forest berries and dark chocolate, harmoniously intertwined with subtle notes of black pepper, vanilla, coconut, and leather.
