Pelter Winery, located in the Golan Heights of northern Israel, was established by brothers, Tal and Nir Pelter in 2001, after Tal returned from oenology studies in Australia. There he witnessed how wine was ingrained in everyday life — as an enjoyment that was both affordable and accessible — and Tal wanted to introduce that approach to Israel. Tal runs the vineyards and makes the wine, while Nir is in charge of branding, marketing and sales. The Golan Heights wine region is characterized by a cold, dry climate that sees a high diurnal temperature shift. It sits at high altitude and is composed primarily of volcanic basalt soils which receive high levels of sunlight. These factors develop high-quality grapes which enjoy long, slow ripening and a unique depth of flavors.
Pelter's Blanc de Blanc sits a pale golden color with a slow, but steady stream of bubbles. Aromas of macerated apple mixed with notes of toasted brioche and almonds waft from the glass. The attack offers a soft mousse that is balanced by a crisp, dry mid-palate and zesty acidity. The finish is long, precise and complex. Delightful as an aperitif, but equally delicious with savory crepes or fritto misto.
