Binyamina Winery ā Yogev ā White Blend ā 2023
Yogev Vineyard ā Israel š®š±
Overview
A thoughtfully composed Israeli white blend from Binyamina Winery, combining Sauvignon Blanc (50%) and Chardonnay (50%). Crafted as a non-mevushal kosher wine, the 2023 Yogev highlights balance over excess, allowing varietal character and terroir expression to coexist. A modern, precise blend that bridges freshness and subtle weight through careful winemaking.
Aromas & Flavors
Fresh citrus, green apple, and lemon zest from the Sauvignon Blanc lead the nose, followed by pear, yellow stone fruit, and gentle orchard notes from the Chardonnay. Subtle hints of white flowers and wet stone add dimension without overt oak influence.
Mouthfeel
Crisp and energetic on entry with vibrant acidity and tension, then gradually broadens across the mid-palate. The Chardonnay provides quiet structure and a rounded back-end, delivering a balanced, composed finish with just enough weight to keep things interesting.
Food Pairings
Kosher-friendly pairings include grilled fish, baked sea bass, roasted chicken, herb-forward vegetable dishes, quinoa salads, or pareve Mediterranean plates. Works equally well without food as an aperitif.
Verdict
An engaging and well-executed white blend that truly delivers the best of both worlds. Fresh, balanced, and approachable, this is an affable kosher white that overperforms thanks to smart blending, attentive winemaking, and terroir-driven restraint.
Did You Know?
Binyamina Winery has become known for blending international varieties with a distinctly Israeli sensibility, emphasizing balance and drinkability while maintaining kosher standards without compromising quality.
š· Personal Pick Highlight
Surprisingly polished for a kosher non-mevushal white. Crisp acidity up front, quiet depth on the finish, and excellent harmony between Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Credit clearly goes to the winemaker and the site. A smart, rewarding bottle.
