Gush Etzion Lone Oak Tree Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2021 750ml

Winemaker Description

Our Cabernet Sauvignon captures the essence of the grapes grown at the lofty altitude of 900 meters in the unique cool climate of the Gush Etzion region. For 20 months the wine matures in French Oak barrels until attaining a flavor that is elegant and complex.

Gush Etzion is located in the Judean region, situated south of Jerusalem, at one of the highest altitudes in Israel. This area has been recognized for thousands of years for wine growing. The climate, differences in day and night temperatures, chalky soil, the sloping vineyards, and altitude of over 900 meters above sea level, create ideal conditions for wine growing.

Shraga and Tamar zl Rosenbergs passion for winemaking grew became a small winery in which they produced 700 bottles a year. Within a few years, plans were drawn up to create a winery at the Gush Etzion junction and partner with local Kibbutzim to plant vineyards. Today, there are more than 600 dunams of grapevines planted in and around the area.
