Hayotzer's southern Rhône-style trio - Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre - run on warm Galilee fruit, mevushal, built for the table that wants something other than another Israeli Cabernet.

Mood: The guest who drinks Côtes-du-Rhône and didn't know Israel does GSM. The simcha that wants a serious mevushal red with a Mediterranean angle.

Our sommelier says
Bright ruby. The nose is open and aromatic - red cherry and raspberry from Grenache, black pepper from Syrah, a savory dried-herb lift from Mourvèdre. Eighteen months in French oak frame the fruit without burying it. Medium-to-full body, soft-shouldered, with rounded tannin and the gentle warmth Galilee fruit gives a southern blend. Mevushal heating leaves the texture friendly - this pours through a simcha cup without complaint and still drinks like a serious bottle.

Tasting notes

Red cherry, raspberry, black pepper, dried Mediterranean herb. Medium-to-full, rounded tannin, fruit-led, savory lift. Clean, gently spicy, warming.

Food pairing

Grilled lamb kebabs, merguez, herb-roasted chicken, brisket, hard cheese (after the wait), Friday-night simchas.
