We are constantly replenishing our inventory, and sometimes we will have to make a vintage substitution. We reserve the right to substitute the vintage of any bottle under $15 without notification. If a vintage substitution is needed for a wine over $15, we will send an email notification and wait 24 hours for your response before shipping the available vintage. If you are vintage specific please leave a note in the comment section at checkout. We will never substitute with a Shmita vintage. Thank you for your understanding.

Winemaker's Notes
The Barkan Reserve Altitude line is the ultimate in specificity, with each single-vineyard bottling noting how many meters above sea level the grapes were grown. A climb of 624 meters brings you to the Alma vineyard, a 20 hectare plot in the Northern Galil. Here, limestone and basalt soils force the vines to struggle year-round which perfects the character of their fruit. With a deep garnet color, aromas of raspberry and black cherry flood your senses and prepare you for the subtle yet intense flavor profile, featuring stewed plum and wet asphalt framed by fresh vanilla bean. Full-bodied with assertive tannins, this is a serious red wine and should be paired with lamb meatballs and couscous, or prime rib.
The Barkan winery is a staple in Israeli winemaking as it has been making wine for over 25 years. Barkan now is one of the largest wineries in Israel producing over 1 million bottles per year across all their wines. The current winery was built in 2000 and with it was built a massive visitor center that rests a half hour from both Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The winery itself is filled with the most up to date technology and advances in the wine industry as the winery is home to all the laboratories, visitor center, production site, marketing center, and logistics center. Barkan has many different lines of wine starting with their classic, then their Barrel Reserve, Winemaker's Choice, Altitude and Superieur. Over the many years the winery has been making wine they have won numerous award
