Ashkar Winery – Chardonnay Galilee Highlands 2023

Chardonnay Galilee Highlands 2023 — Ashkar Winery

Harvested at the perfect moment of ripeness from selected vineyards in the Upper Galilee, this Chardonnay is a study in balance. Ashkar Winery's careful hand in the vineyard and cellar results in a wine that is at once rich and refreshing — a rare combination that makes it endlessly drinkable.

Eight months ageing on the lees in stainless steel tanks builds a creamy, rounded texture while preserving the cool-climate freshness and mineral energy that defines wines from this elevated Palestinian region.

Tasting Notes
