General Information
Yarden Mount Hermon White was produced from Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grown in the Golan heights. The cool climate, rocky volcanic soil, and high altitude are ideal conditions for growing classic wine grape varieties. Cold fermentation retains the naturally fruity and floral qualities characteristic of these varietals. To preserve the quality of the wine, this bottle should be stored on its side in a cool, dark place. Best served at about 50 degrees.

first, as I've mentioned in other postings because the majority of jews don't do this, decant for two hours prior to drinking. right off the bat, the nose says chardonnay all over with smells of buttered popcorn and light green grape smell. the palate ok and I can smell this wine longer than I'd want to taste it. not a semi-dry but not totally dry. a decent white. had this chilled and from a half-bottle.

I wouldn't necessarily call my bottle bad. It just wasn't exciting. I didn't sense any real structure and no balancing acidity for the otherwise nice pear and vanilla flavors. I can think of several other blends in the price range (Carmel Riesling/Chenin Blanc comes to mind)that do a nicer job.

I was a big fan of the 2003 vintage, but WOW - I have to agree with Arney - What a disappointment on my last bottle! Not sure if the plastic cork is the problem, but I suspect it is because on first opening the wine tasted like it had been sitting in my refrigerator for a week. Yikes!

I was eagerly looking forward to enjoying this light wine based upon its reviews here, but was unfortunately disappointed. The wine I received was a bitter, vinegary disappointment to me & my Shabbos guests. There were faint undertones of the light white I expected, but the bad taste was so sharp & consistent that I finally resorted to cutting it with grape juice just to make it palatable through kiddush.
It seems as though Golan Heights Winery has resorted to my least favorite wine 'innovation', first noticed in Weinstock bottles during the last decade: plastic corks. Although the bottle wasn't leaking, this cork glided out of the neck easily - a bit too easily - which made me wary even before we tasted it.
No matter the expense, availability or seeming technological advancement, cork still remains the best plug for a wine bottle. Plastic corks have always foreshadowed a less than enjoyable wine drinking experience. This is very frustrating, since I've always enjoyed Yarden wines, as well as the rest of the Golan Heights brands, and have felt good about buying Israeli wines that haven't sacrificed quality for politics. Now I won't know if they've changed their corks back until I try another bottle...which unfortunately may not be for a while now. I'm sorry I have to give a bad review, but I felt I should warn others of the possibility of experiencing the same frustration I had from this wine. I hope the cork becomes cork again soon.

Fresh, perky, clean. Well balanced, good acidity, nice bouquet. Enjoyable.

This is a wine to be consumed without deep analysis - think "summer picnic" and "house wine" on the Golan. Yarden should be congratulated for fighting the "varietal" mafia and producing very drinkable blends like this one (and the Mount Hermon red!)

The Yarden Mount Hermon White (for that matter the Red too) happen to be my all time favorites. The craftsmanship that went in to make both the red and white Mount Hermon medley wines is outstanding. This white wine is not as bold as its brother the red. Yet, this wine is simply a fantastic journey for your taste buds!

This mostly dry, medium-bodied, golden-straw colored white wine is mostly pleasant and appealing but very simple. With forward and up-front aromas and flavors of peach, melon, pineapple, grapefruit and a hint of spice, the wine does seem to have a slight, though unfortunate, sweet streak running through it. This sweet aspect undermines the whole, but the wine otherwise should make for pleasant enough summer drinking. Drink now.

Yarden Mount Hermon White Golan Heights 13% alcohol. Sauvignon Blanc with small amounts of Chardonnay, Semillon and French Colombard. Soft and semi-fruity. Golden yellow color. Fresh with a very little bit of sulphur. Slight banana nose, almost Asti-like without the bubbles. No discernable oak or tannins. A very tasty white wine with excellent flavor, much different than what I thought it would be. Not too dry and full of flavor, with an almost tropical fruitiness. I give it a 95 out of 100.
