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.
The T-Selection is made from 100% Petit Verdot grapes grown in the Jerusalem HIlls. The wine is aged for 15 months in French oak barrels. The wine is deep and brooding in the glass showcasing aromas of dark red and black fruits kissed with spice. It is rich in pomegranate, blackberry and cardamom flavors with a full body and soft, silky mouthfeel.
