Production Methods

Kosher for Passover

To be certified as Kosher for Passover, wine must be made without leavened grain products, handled only by Sabbath-observant Jews with production overseen by a rabbinical authority. Wines will have a "Kosher for Passover" certification symbol on the label such as the Orthodox Union (OU) symbol and the letters "P" in a circle.

Staff Pick Notes

If you've been invited to a Passover Seder or a Shabbat meal, but don't know what to bring, this wine definitely hits all the right marks. Domaine du Castel is the first modern winery established in the Judean Hills of Israel, an area also recognized as one of the world's earliest wine making regions. The vines are planted on soils consisting of clay, limestone and terra rossa, a silty reddish soil typical of the Mediterranean region. The climate of the vineyards is moderated by winds blowing in from the sea, keeping the grapes cool and protected from mildew. This is a classic Bordeaux-style blend and exhibits dark, juicy plum flavors, cassis, and mouth watering acidity. Enjoy with brisket, roast chicken or latkes. Shalom!

It has one of the most impressive and distinctive textures of any wine, and has long been prized for the "softening" effect it can have on Cabernet Sauvignon - especially...

Cabernet Sauvignon

The result of an illicit affair a hundred-odd years ago between Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon today enjoys more worldwide popularity than both of its parents combined. It is the principal grape of Bordeaux, and as such has rightly earned its place among the greatest and most long-lived wines of the Old World; of course, it is also the most heralded grape of California, positioning it at the forefront of the New World wine scene as well. Today, Cabernet Sauvignon has a...
