Though you can't taste through your headphones, Assaf's vivid descriptions bring each wine to life with such clarity that your imagination fills in the sensory gaps. His approach to winemaking—"taking down my ego, understanding that what I get from the fruit is amazing"—reveals itself through every sip we share. The journey begins with a stunning Pinot Noir that defies expectations about what can grow in Israel's climate. From cool pockets in the Ella Valley comes a wine Assaf describes as "a lady that doesn't need makeup," requiring minimal intervention to express its delicate character. We move to Grenache Noir, "the Pinot of the Mediterranean," perfectly adapted to Israel's conditions with natural balance and lower alcohol levels that showcase fruit purity over power.Whether you're new to Israeli wines or a seasoned enthusiast, this episode offers rare insight into how a master craftsman thinks about revealing a place through its grapes. Settle in, open your senses, and discover why Vitkin's portfolio represents both the present excellence and future potential of Israeli winemaking.For More InformationAssaf Paz WinemakerVitkin WineryAddress: Turtle Bridge Alexander stream , Kfar Vitkin waze: ״Vitkin Winery״ Tel: +972-9-8663505 Fax: +972-98664179WhatsApp: +972-54-4866355 Email: <a href="mailto:info@vitkin-winery.co.il">info@vitkin-winery.co.il</a> <a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210843/support">Support the show</a>www.TheKosherTerroir.com +972-58-731-1567 +1212-999-4444 TheKosherTerroir@gmail.com Link to Join “The Kosher Terroir” WhatsApp Chat https://chat.whatsapp.com/EHmgm2u5lQW9VMzhnoM7C9 Thursdays 6:30pm Eastern Time on the NSN Network and the NSN App
