Clos de Gat Ayalon Valley

Clos de Gat is situated in the foothills of the Judean Mountains, bordering Israel’s biblical Ayalon Valley, where Joshua defeated the Five Kings. An ancient “Gat” (Hebrew for wine press), pre-dating the Roman period by a thousand years, is located by the house set in the heart of the vineyards. The region’s rolling hills and valleys have supported grapevine cultivation for thousands of years. The combination of a thin layer of topsoil atop a bed-rock of limestone, together with a unique micro-climate, make it possible to grow grapes of outstanding quality.

The wine has a beautiful deep black red color with discernible hues of dark purple. On the nose, it reveals aromas of black and red fruits enhanced by notes of discreet oak and earthy Mediterranean plants and herbs. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and well balanced with fine integrated tannins. The finish is long, complex and elegant.
