Lewinsohn Garage de Papa Blanc

This is definitely one of Israel’s top whites that would stand proud next to a Puligny Montrachet. Very well balanced, with just the right amount of oak, mineral backbone and concentrated fruit. Never overdone or manipulated, long finish and very fine acidity. Drink now - 2023.

Exciting Israeli red wines; 1/1/2017-2/28/2017 (Tel Aviv) : Very pale, watery yellow. The GDP 2015 blanc has a shy nose, elegantly floral, showing honeysuckle, lime, with a faint hint of something feline. A fairly substantial, chewy mouthfeel: ripe fruit, good grip, palate-saturating. Fairly long finish shows bitterness on opening, but that faded after the bottle was left open in the fridge for an hour. Like a good Macon white, not at all buttery. People who drink white burgundy should enjoy …
