Chardonnay Yarden Odem

Yarden Odem Chardonnay wine comes from the Golan Heights in Israel, a region characterized by a cool climate and volcanic soils that give the grapes a special complexity and minerality. The vineyards are located at altitudes ranging from 1,200 to 1,300 meters above sea level, in the vicinity of Mount Hermon. This area is ideal for growing Chardonnay because of its temperature ranges, which allow the grapes to ripen slowly and optimally, preserving acidity and developing complex aromas. The production process for Yarden Odem Chardonnay involves fermentation in French oak barrels, which helps give the wine vanilla notes and an elegant structure. Next, the wine is aged on the lees for several months, usually between six and 12, to enrich its texture and aromatic complexity. Aging in wood and on the lees gives the wine a creaminess and depth that are balanced with the freshness and minerality typical of grapes grown at high altitudes. The result is a refined Chardonnay with an aromatic range from tropical fruits to toasty notes, supported by lively acidity.
