{"title":"Gamla","description":"\u003ch1\u003e Buy or order Gamla wine\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n \nGamla, a pearl from Israel. Many people think that fine wines come primarily from classic wine-producing countries like France, Spain, or Italy, but wine is produced all over the world. Wine has been produced in Israel for centuries. The climate and terroir in this Middle Eastern country are perfect for viticulture. However, political instability has prevented Israel from becoming a significant wine-producing nation. Fortunately, Gamla wines have consistently stood the test of time and are now among the finest wines from Israel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The Gamla wines from Israel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n The Gamla wines are produced by the impressive Golan Heights Winery. As the name suggests, it is located in the disputed Golan region. Although the winery's history is murky, and the Golan Heights are often disputed, everyone agrees that the wines are of superior quality.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nGamla is named after the historic town of Gamla. Gamla wines are particularly notable for their unique purity. Despite the unstable situation, the winemakers at Golan Heights Winery have been creating the most impressive wines since 1984, attracting hundreds of fans both at home and abroad.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The Israeli wines of Gamla\u003c\/h2\u003e \nThe location of Gamla's vineyards is almost perfect. We can safely say that, without the unrest throughout the region, the wine region might just be the most beautiful in the world. Everything seems to come together here: a perfect and fertile terroir, ample sunshine, and an excellent climate. This allows Gamla to plant a variety of grape varieties in its vineyards. Well-known names like Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot have naturally earned a place. But distinctive varieties like Riesling and Sangiovese have also carved out a niche for themselves in Gamla's vineyards. The latter is particularly special, as the Sangiovese grape is rarely planted anywhere else outside of Italy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Why buy Gamla wines\u003c\/h2\u003e \nGamla stands for perfection. For luxury. For purity. The wines don't exude complexity, but that's not necessary. If you create a wine as good as Gamla does, oak aging isn't necessary. Every Gamla wine demonstrates the quality of the grapes. The Gamla Viognier Chardonnay is exceptional, a blend of two beautiful grape varieties to create a fantastic wine. For celebrations, there's the Gamla Nature Brut. With Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, it's an Israeli equivalent of Champagne. The festive champagne cork makes it even more festive.","products":[{"product_id":"gamla-sangiovese","title":"Gamla Sangiovese","description":"This red Sangiovese is a beautiful red wine from Golan Heights with an Italian twist. The ancient vines are located in the heart of the Galilee, making it Israel's northernmost and generally considered the finest appellation. The highest-quality area within the appellation is the Golan Heights, the coldest region in Israel. That's quite something! The vineyards are situated on a volcanic plateau at an altitude of 1200 meters. This allows the Sangiovese grapes for this Gamla to receive abundant sunshine but also plenty of coolness, resulting in a long and uneventful growing season. The difference between day and night temperatures is enormous, allowing the grapes to absorb considerable energy from the volcanic soil.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Wood aging for the Gamla Sangiovese\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nOnce the Sangiovese grapes reach full ripeness, they are hand-harvested and rigorously selected. Winemaker Victor Schoenfeld knows the ins and outs of this beautiful wine region like no other and strives to bottle only the finest grapes. Once the Sangiovese grapes for this Gamla arrive at Golan Heights Winery, they undergo a hop-ageing process of twelve months. Victor uses only French barrels because they are the best complement to his renowned Sangiovese grapes. The result is impressive, and it's no wonder this red wine sells out every year.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The aroma and taste of Sangiovese from Gamla in Israel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nAs soon as the bottle is opened, we immediately smell a powerful aroma of black fruit such as cherries and blackberries, complemented by a generous dose of spice. Upon pouring, we see a beautiful deep red color with purple glints. With the nose in the glass, this red Sangiovese truly unleashes. Plenty of ripe fruit with potpourri, black pepper, and fresh herbs. The taste is, as we've come to expect from Gamla, soft and very powerful. This Sangiovese has a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, with a subtle tannic texture typical of the Sangiovese grape. On the palate, it offers a broad palette of black fruit such as blackberries, cherries, and currants with plenty of spice.","brand":"De Monnik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775873257551,"sku":"1147","price":16.45,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/gamla-sangiovese_1147.webp?v=1770045855"},{"product_id":"gamla-sauvignon-blanc","title":"Gamla Sauvignon Blanc","description":"Undoubtedly the star of the show from Israel.

He wanted to create an Israeli red wine using the most common blend on earth: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Well, he more than succeeded, and this red wine is a true masterpiece. But that doesn't happen by itself; Victor spent years testing and researching where these grapes grow best in Israel. He ultimately chose the Galilee region because that's where Israel's premier appellation is located. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vineyards are located in the northern part, at an altitude of 1200 meters. With deep roots in the volcanic soil, the grapes develop their own unique identity.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Completely hand-harvested for this red wine from Gamla\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nOnce both grapes have fully absorbed the rich soil, they are harvested entirely by hand. Bunches are inspected and placed in small crates. This is done to minimize damage during transport and to obtain the purest juice. Winemaker Victor Schoenfeld wants this red Gamla wine to showcase the beauty of the juice from the Golan Heights. Both grapes are vinified separately, after which the blend is created. The entire wine is aged for a full twelve months in both French and American oak barrels.

He decided to plant a unique vineyard in northern Israel. At an altitude of 1200 meters, the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards for this Gamla \"Champagne\" are located.

A difficult task, but leave it to him, as he has a wealth of experience. The entire wine is aged with yeast and sugar in the bottle for at least twelve months in the cellars of Golan Heights Winery.
