Dalton Winery Nadav Single Vineyard Field Blend 2020 750 ML

Each wine in our Single Vineyard series encapsulates the nature of a site-specific microcosmos: a soil, its landscape and the climate that shapes them. Nadav Vineyard nestles behind the Dalton Mountain and the Birkat Kash nature reserve at about 700 m elevation. The vineyard is co-planted with 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Petite Verdot. The vineyard sits on a basalt rift with rich and heavy soil.
The vineyard is grown using sustainable practices. There is rich bio-diversity within the vineyard, we have placed nesting boxes for owls and in the winter we allow goats to graze decreasing our reliance on fossil fuels.
Winemaking
The vineyard is harvested as one in September, Cabernet and Petit Verdot together. They are also co-fermented and aged as one wine. This is known as a “Field Blend”. We believe that the Single vineyard wine does need to be a single variety and that the bled is greater than the sum of its parts. The wine was aged for 16 months in barrel before bottling.
