Domaine du Castel Petit Castel Judean Hills Red 750ml

Petit Castel is Domaine du Castel's Bordeaux-style red blend from the Judean Hills of Israel, bottled at 14.5% ABV.

It blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, with the mix changing by vintage.

It is a kosher wine and the most approachable red in Castel's lineup.

Expect dark berries, cassis and cedar with ripe, rounded tannins.

Enjoy it now or cellar it for several years. Its classic white label with the castle sketch makes it an elegant gift.

Good wine rewards a little care in serving. Whites and rosés show best chilled to around 45 to 50°F, while reds are at their most expressive slightly below room temperature, around 60 to 65°F. Opening the bottle and letting it breathe for a few minutes, or pouring it into a decanter, helps the aromas open up.
