Carmel Limited Edition is the winery's flagship red — an old-world-styled Bordeaux blend sourced from the high-altitude Kayoumi vineyards in the Upper Galilee. This is the benchmark bottle Carmel builds around.

Mood: Structured, serious, benchmark.

Our sommelier says
This is the wine you pour when you want to show what Israeli Bordeaux blends can actually do — depth, structure, and a European sense of proportion.

Tasting notes

Blackcurrant, dark plum, and violet on the nose, with cedar, graphite, and Mediterranean herb from the oak. Full-bodied and layered — dark cassis fruit up front, then fine cedar tannin, tobacco leaf, and a lifting minerality through the mid-palate. Long, polished finish with grippy tannin and lingering dark chocolate.

Food pairing

Made for standing rib on Yom Tov, slow-braised short rib, entrecôte, and aged hard cheeses. Give it 30 minutes in a decanter before Shabbos.
