The aromatic 2007 Yarden Viognier shows off attractive notes of fresh peaches, apricots and flowers with hints of spice and perfume, all highlighted with a background of smooth oak. While flavorful and rich the wine retains elegant drinkability.
Viognier is still a fairly new variety for us but it seems that the wine will age very gracefully over four to seven years from the harvest. We enjoy Yarden Viognier with rather exotic flavors. Try with a pureed white bean soup flavored with smoked goose breast and served with a drizzle of white truffle scented olive oil or wild mushroom ravioli tossed with shavings of some good aged gruyere.
The Harvest
A relatively warm, dry winter preceded the 2007 vintage season. Very low rainfall caused great worry until a cold wet April delivered enough rain to bring the seasonal total to 90% of normal. The relative cool continued to the end of July, delaying the start of harvest by about ten days. Near perfect conditions then prevailed until almost the end of the vintage when, on the 15th, the first of five October rains hit. The precipitation (five times the October norm!) delayed to November the final 8% of harvest.
The 2007 Yarden Viognier is made from Viognier grapes grown in Odem Vineyard, the highest wine vineyard in Israel, at an elevation of 1,200 meters (close to 4,000 feet) above sea level. One third of the wine ferments and ages in new French oak barrels, one third in previously used French oak barrels and one third in stainless steel tanks. This combination gives a wine both rich and aromatic, both intense and elegant.
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.
