Zwebner Estate Vineyard 24.19 White Blend 2017 Bethlehem, Israel
Light straw in color with a green hue.
Soft nose of green apples, citrus, lemons, minerals and light grapefruits.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity, crisp and refreshing.
Dry on the palate with citrus, limes, green apples, light vegetables, grapefruits, lemon juice, spices and minerals.

This is a nice surprise. A nice white blend from Israel. Showing mild complexity, and crisp and refreshing when cold. Not bitter which I really liked. Reminds me of a white wine from Northern Loire.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. Will pair very nicely with oysters.
Needs 30 minutes to open up properly as it is a bit watery right out of the bottle.
Very easy to drink, so watch out.
