Red Blend Wine in Memory of Ilay Gamzu

Blend from the 2022 Harvest (Heter Mechira) composed of a combination of five different grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and a touch of Gewürztraminer, harvested from specially selected plots to create the blend.
The wine underwent double aging for about 16 months in selected French and American oak barrels. Initially, each grape variety was aged separately for eight months, and after blending, the wine was aged for an additional eight months before bottling.

The blend has a medium body and a wonderful finish, with aromas of ripe plum, cassis, and green pepper, and scents reminiscent of apricot and lychee. It is an elegant and balanced wine, pleasant to drink with friends, and pairs wonderfully with cheeses and Asian cuisine.

Under suitable conditions, the blend will continue to improve with age in the bottle.

Alcohol Content: 13.5%

The Wine in Memory of Ilay Gamzu

An Israeli hero, 21 years old at the time of his passing. Born on October 20, 2002. Ilay was full of life, with a unique charm that made everyone connect with him. He had the most beautiful smile in the world, the smile of a child with a huge heart!

Our Ilay excelled in everything – in studies, football, his military service, and especially in his love for people and generosity towards others.

Ilay was a warrior and commander in the 890th Battalion and the Paratroopers’ Training Base. He embarked on his final mission on the cursed Saturday of October 7, 2023. He was killed in battle while fighting bravely and protecting civilians in the communities of Yad Mordechai and Netiv HaAsara.

Before heading out to fight, Ilay parted from his mother with these words: “Mom, I’m going to do what I swore to do two and a half years ago.”

We will always remember him.
