Producer notes: "Following the record breaking cold and hot temperatures of harvests 2011 and 2010 respectively, we thankfully returned to a more typical vintage in 2012. The relatively cold and wet winter resulted in late but strong budbreak. A somewhat warm April advanced the season, resulting in a normal start of harvest in the first week of August. Trailing a beautiful summer that was just slightly warmer than average, a short warm spell in October allowed us to complete the relatively short harvest on the 21st of the month. The 2012 vintage brought lower than average yields coupled with very good quality. The 2012 Mount Hermon White is made from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier and Semillon fruit harvested from vineyards on the cool northern Golan Heights. The wine’s cold fermentation helps preserve the natural liveliness of these classic white varieties."
