ABOUT DALTON WINERY

Dalton Winery is located in the Galilee, one of the highest regions in Israel, with our vineyards planted at

650-900 meters above sea level. Characterized by a varied combination of soils, including the rich and heavy

basalt and abundant limestone, the Galilee provides a perfect terroir in which our succulent grapes grow.

Drenched in natural warm sunlight throughout most of the year, and blessed with an abundance of rain, this

area enjoys a highly diversified landscape. With its mountain slopes positioned at different angles and directions,

natural sunlight is distributed differently amongst each plot. The result is a rich and multifaceted abundance

of fruits, colors, flavors, tones and scents, which serve as the perfect basis for creating our unique wines.

DALTON ESTATE CHARDONNAY 2017 - DRY - 750ml - 13,5%

Canaan loves company… Striving towards sustainability and minimal intervention throughout the winemaking

process, we make sure to offer you the chance to savor the natural expression of our grapes as they

were meant to be. Fruitful and fragrant. Juicy… and just right. There’s always time for joy. Go ahead.

Pause for pleasure.

Winemaking

The philosophy behind this wine was to make a chardonnay with as little intervention as possible. We have

moved away from the heavy oaky style wine to bring much lighter and fruitier wine, which we believe is a

truer expression of the fruit and a wine that is much easier to drink.

The grapes were picked at the end of August. Proximity to the winery allowed for immediate crushing and

chilling. Only the free run juice was used to make this wine. Reductive handling of the must was encouraged

and cold fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks without the influence of oak. For added complexity,

the wine was matured on its lees for about a month after fermentation.

Serving Suggestions

Dalton Chardonnay is an excellent accompaniment to baked fish dishes, grilled tuna, veal, grilled

chicken or pasta in cream sauce.

Tasting Notes

A fruity wine with well-balanced acidity, bursting with citrus and tropical fruit flavours, especially peaches,

apricots and a little melon, this wine offers a new and exciting facet to Chardonnay in Israel. The wine is

designed for immediate consumption and not meant for extensive cellaring.
