IN THE SPOTLIGHT: NEW TOP-RATED KOSHER WINES FOR THE FALL HIGH HOLIDAYS – Food & Beverage Magazine – Food & Beverage Magazine
Posted By admin on August 22, 2021
Theres little time to catch your breath between summer and the High Holiday season this year. With Labor Day and Rosh Hashana sharing the same date on the calendar, its not too soon to start thinking about festive meals, gatherings with loved ones, and other traditions that go hand-in-hand with the fall Jewish holidays.
Fortunately, weve had another exceptional year for kosher wine production. That means theres an excellent selection of exciting releases to choose from and one less thing to worry about. Theyre ready to serve now, so whether youre planning to host a crowd or be a guest, youre sure to find something deliciously suitable for the holiday table.
Wine expert Gabriel Geller, Director of PR and Manager of Wine Education for Kedem/Royal Wine, has recommendations for wines that offer quality and value across all price points.
Herzog Wine Cellars celebrates the new Jewish year with its first release of the Herzog Limited Edition Chalk Hill Chardonnay 2020 (MSRP: $60). This rich and complex white wine is the result of careful harvest planning and skillful winemaking, led by Head Winemaker Joe Hurliman. The 2020 harvest in California was marked by some of the worst wildfires the Golden State has ever known. However, thanks to Divine Providence the harvest for the Chalk Hill Chardonnay took place before the fires, and yielded fruit of the highest quality.
Geller is also enthusiastic about Herzog Special Reserve Mthode Champenoise Russian River NV (MSRP $60), Herzogs first-ever high-end Champagne method sparkling wine, is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in Sonomas Russian River area.
He also points to Chteau Malartic Lagravire Blanc 2019 (MSRP $100), the first kosher cuve release by the Bordeaux estate. Malartic received elite Grand Cru Class status for both its red and white wines in the 1959 Classification of Vins de Graves. Now owned by the Bonnie family, Malartic has produced several kosher cuves of its red Grand Vin in collaboration with Royal Wine since 2003. Its sister property, Chteau Gazin Rocquencourt, started making kosher runs in 2015.
Another exciting release is Raziel Syrah-Carignan 2018 (MSRP $65), says Geller. Raziel wines scored 97 points by acclaimed wine critic James Suckling the highest rating ever for Israeli wines. Meanwhile, Europes first fully kosher winery, Terra di Seta in Italy, received an unprecedented 97 points and a platinum medal from Decanter magazine for the Terra di Seta Chianti Classico Riserva 2016 (MSRP $35).
While many of this years newcomers are produced by classic, old-world methods, some intriguing surprises are in the mix. They include Nana Estate wines (MSRP $30-$50), grown and produced in Israels scorching, nutrient-poor Negev Desert. Nana earned widespread buzz even before their wines were available in the U.S.; with their innovative viticulture techniques, theyve not only beaten the odds, but theyve crafted a collection of distinctive and popular kosher wines.
Baron Herzog, the entry-level line of value wines from Herzog Wine Cellars retailing between $10-13, are now available with fresh, new labels. Baron Herzog wines were first launched in 1986, following the winerys establishment in California in 1985. The elegant and classy packaging further emphasizes the care and attention the Herzog family crafts each and every wine they produce from top to bottom. The Baron Herzog line includes an award-winning Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, a Ros,White Zinfandel, Pinot Grigio, Old Vines Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a red blend called Aleph. Several of the wines are grown in the Herzogs estate Prince Vineyard in Clarksburg CA, as well as from Paso Robles AVA.
Then theres Bartenura Froscato cocktail pops (MSRP $25 per package of 12). Bartenura is no stranger to bending the rules. After introducing the wildly popular Moscato in blue cans last year, the Italian kosher producer has now released refreshing Moscato frozen wine cocktail pops. Perfect for the warmer high holiday season.
