Barkan 7th Day Sacramental – Sweet Red Wine from Israel

Barkan 7th Day Sacramental, still known to many wine lovers as Kinor, is a full-bodied and pleasantly sweet red wine from Israel. This distinctive wine from Barkan Winery is made from Carignan grapes grown in the Judean Foothills. 7th Day Sacramental is a kosher wine for meaningful occasions and is traditionally enjoyed for Kiddush on Shabbat, Havdalah and Jewish holidays. It is also well known as a Communion wine.

Full-bodied, Sweet and Lightly Spiced
