Winery Story
"In the heart of the Galilee Mountains of Israel, nestled in the seductive curves of rolling hills, is a place where time seems to stand sti... (more...)ll. For thousands of years this land has produced the legendary agricultural riches of the Holy Land. Today, the fullest expression of this history is a breathtaking pomegranate orchard and the pure pomegranate wines of Rimon Winery.
Named for the Hebrew word for pomegranate, the winery is the first to successfully produce fine wine made from 100% pomegranate—without added sugar. Rimon Winery sits on a basalt plateau nearly 3,000 feet above sea level, nestled in the heart of the Nachmias family’s pomegranate orchard. The building has been crafted from local stone to blend into the timeless hills above the Sea of Galilee. Hidden behind the stone walls is a state-of-the art winemaking facility featuring special pomegranate separation and pressing equipment, stainless steel fermentation tanks, and a barrel room where the wines are aged in classic French oak barrels."

This unique wine is made using similar processes to that of traditional port-producing methods, with the fermentation process interrupted th... (more...)rough the addition of fermented pomegranate juice, resulting in a wine with a high alcohol and sugar content. It is then aged for 18 months in French oak barrels in Rimon Winery’s special aging sun room.Dark purple and maroon in color, this wine has a nose of stone fruits and sweet spices. A full bodied port, it is sweet on the palate, but not overwhelming, with a smooth mouth feel with a delicate warm finish.
Tangy, Zesty 
Big Fruit, Pow!
