Golan Heights Winery, a winery in Israel, just debuted Yarden Cru Elite, the first single-vineyard, single-block duo of wines, specially crafted to commemorate the winery’s 40th anniversary, the winery states.
Yarden Cru Elite is produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and cultivated in individual blocks from the Bar’on Vineyard. These two limited-edition wines are the first to bear the “Yarden Cru Elite” designation, according to the winery.
“At Golan Heights Winery, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of winemaking excellence,” said Victor Schoenfeld, Head Winemaker of Golan Heights Winery, in a news release. “It’s been a privilege to work in the Golan Heights for more than 30 years, and we’re always exploring the unlimited potential of our vineyards and expanding people’s perception of what Israeli winemaking can accomplish. Yarden Cru Elite showcases the exceptional talent of our viticulture and winemaking team; every new release reveals more about the complexity of Golan Heights and what the future can bring.”
Golan Heights Winery has bottled two individual blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon in a very limited quantity and are available exclusively as pairs, the winery states. Each duo set is accompanied by a digital collectible design. Yarden Cru Elite wines have a suggested retail price of $2,000 and are available nationwide at select restaurants and retailers.
