Philokalia Grapes of Wrath Bethlehem, Palestine
‘Grapes of Wrath in particular, originates from a micro plot that was destroyed by the Israeli military to make a road for a settlement. The 90 year old vines were crushed with massive boulders up to 2m in height, but the vines grew back from between the rocks.’
Naturally made with no additions, from local indigenous grape varieties. This is a skin-fermented white but the maceration depends on the plot, and in this case was 1, 3, 4, 5 or 8 weeks. This is textural and fine, with a really lovely mouthfeel: there’s some breadth to the pear skin, table grape and melon fruit, but there’s a bit of structure too, although it’s really fine grained. A delicate, quite pure white with all the flavours in harmony, finishing with just a touch of sweet apple pie character.
