One of Israel's most respected producers, Castel Winery is a standard-setting producer of kosher wines. Situated in the fertile soil of the Jerusalem Hills, Castel's premium vineyards are cultivated using traditional techniques. These methods contribute to sophisticated and flavorful wines that testify to their meticulous and skillful viticulture. The historical setting adds meaning to the winemaking tradition while also providing fertile grounds for producing some of the highest quality grapes in the region. Letting intuition guide his efforts, Ben Zaken sent his "Grand Vin" to Sotheby’s MW Serena Sutcliffe and received an overwhelmingly-positive response. It was at that moment that Ben Zaken decided to embrace his destiny and make wine his life.

Castel Grand Vin is Domaine du Castel’s first red wine.

The varieties used to create this wine are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, harvested from the vineyard’s finest plots. Prior to bottling, the wine is set to mature in French oak barrels, most brand new, for approximately 16 months, followed by approx. 4 months in concrete tanks.

Castel Gran Vin is a classic, elegant wine, bearing deep coloring and a concentrated and complex bouquet of blackberries, spices and fine (yet tangible) tannin. This is a balanced wine, with a velvety smoothness and a long clean finish. It is recommended to decanter the wine before serving.

Sourced from densely planted vineyards, the grapes are hand picked with care to ensure top quality in every bottle. All Castel wines are also aged for up to 24 months in the finest French oak barrels. The result is an array of kosher wines with a depth of flavor and rich aroma rarely found in competitor products.
