OVERVIEW
Geography
Although it has been producing wine since pre-biblical times, Israel today is regarded as a “New World” wine source. Israeli wines, once largely sweet and unsophisticated, are now predominantly elegant varietal wines with international appeal. Familiar grapes such as Cabernet, Merlot, Chardonnay and others make excellent, contemporary Israeli wines.
Varietal / Type
What is Petite Sirah? Though the name has occasionally been given to a number of different grapes grown in California, Petit Sirah was developed by French botanist Francois Durif in 1880, who crossed the Syrah grape with the French variety Peloursin. The grape was introduced to California four years later, and by the turn of the century the dark and densely clustered red grapes had become popular throughout the state’s winegrowing regions.
