Part 1:
Embark on a transformative journey to the Recanati Winery in the northern Galil, where we uncover the intricate art of winemaking amidst a backdrop of regional strife. Join me, Simon Jacob, as I sit down with sommelier Efi Kotz and winemaker Shahar Mamor to explore the resilience of a community dedicated to excellence in viticulture. Despite the proximity to the Lebanese border and the recent conflicts, the winery's state-of-the-art visitor center stands as a testament to its unyielding spirit. We'll navigate the breathtaking Upper Galilee, where lush valleys contrast starkly with the visible aftermath of fires and missile strikes, offering a poignant setting for our discussion.
Learn how different climates impact Mediterranean varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon and Carignan, and gain insights into the cutting-edge technology that powers the Recanati Winery. From advanced Italian equipment by Della Toffola to computerized control systems that ensure precision, discover the meticulous processes that define their craft. Explore the logistics of manual and mechanical grape harvesting and delve into the balance between quality and quantity in wine production. We'll also cover the winery's recent move to a new facility in 2022, highlighting the challenges and triumphs along the way.
Get an exclusive look at the production of Petnat, a natural sparkling wine, and savor the rich profile of Yonatan, an exceptional wine sold along with others at the visitor center. We'll touch on vineyard testing, the harvest season, and the integration of local terroir in both food and drink. This episode offers a rare glimpse into the innovative spirit and dedication behind some of Israel's finest wines. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or simply curious about the intersection of tradition and innovation in a region marked by resilience, this episode promises to leave you inspired.
