Method for drinking wine from the bottle (mattdalrymple8)
Happy to follow Kishor Winery over the years.
In the Kishorit settlement, where people with special needs live, a quality winery has developed over the years.
For all of Avi Efrati's wine series
, Richard Davies, born in South Africa, is the owner and winemaker, with Itay Lahat by his side as winemaker consultant.
The profile of the wines of the 2020 and 2021 vintages, together with the two agings reviewed here, reveal the Davies winery as a place full of truth, modesty and qualities.
Loyal to the terroir.

Kishor's vineyards, as well as the winery itself, are located in the Western Upper Galilee and the wines benefit from being faithful to the terroir.
The basic position belongs to the spirit of the old wine world, and this is evident in wines that tend to the understated and non-extrovert/flattering pole of the palate.
All the reds here, even the higher ones, provide great value for money, each in its own type and price group.
The bricks are high quality and full of character.
Together they draw a portrait of one of the successful wineries operating here, away from the spotlight and the noise of festivals and public relations.
Those who have not yet been introduced to the wines of Kishor, now is the time and those who know and love them will enjoy the wines reviewed here.
for life!

A particularly successful steak wine.
