What sparks a lifelong passion for winemaking? Join us on The Kosher Terroir as we sit down with Ari Tannenbaum, head winemaker at Tabernacle Winery in Moshev Tzuriel, Israel. Ari's remarkable journey from Cedarhurst, New York to the vineyards of Israel is filled with inspiration, dedication, and a deep connection to his cultural roots. Hear how an encounter with winemaker Chaim Sackton set Ari on the path to becoming a celebrated artisan in the vibrant Upper Galilee winemaking scene. From his hands-on experience at Luria Winery to advanced studies at Cornell University, Ari shares how his philosophy of minimal intervention shapes every bottle he crafts.
Experience the unique challenges and triumphs faced by Ari and his team at Tabernacle Winery. Amidst a wartime environment, the commitment to agricultural mitzvot and meticulous care of the vines stand out as pillars of their winemaking process. Discover how the vineyard's location influences the wine's exceptional quality and the significance of handpicking grapes. Ari also sheds light on the harvest process and the crucial role of temperature control in producing high-quality red wines, offering listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the intricate steps involved in creating their premium offerings.
Despite lower grape yields, there's a sense of optimism about the complexity and quality of Israeli wines this year. Ari discusses the balance in winemaking, from vineyard management to fermentation, and the artistry of blending wines. We explore Tabernacle's diverse range, including its aromatic Sauvignon Blanc, fruit-forward Rosé, and unique single-vineyard Syrah. Learn about the versatile Grenache grapes and their contribution to the winery's exceptional portfolio. Don't miss this episode if you have a passion for winemaking or are intrigued by the resilience and creativity of Israel's wine industry.
