The Petite Sirah grape

Petite Sirah, also known as Durif, is a red grape variety renowned for its intense colour and powerful character. It typically produces concentrated red wines with dark-fruit flavours, spicy notes and substantial tannins. Careful winemaking at Dalton creates an appealing balance between intensity and smoothness, resulting in a full-bodied wine with a velvety texture and lingering finish.

Origin in Israel

Dalton Estate Petite Sirah comes from Galilee, one of Israel's best-known wine regions. Dalton Winery is located in Upper Galilee in northern Israel, an area renowned for its diverse terroir and favourable conditions for viticulture. Dalton also describes a carefully managed vineyard near Gedera, on Israel's coastal plain, as important to this Petite Sirah. Close cooperation between the winemaker and grape grower contributes to the distinctive character of the wine.

Winemaking and oak ageing

The grapes are carefully selected and harvested. During fermentation, the wine is regularly pumped over the grape skins to gently extract colour, aromas and flavours. After fermentation, the wine is pressed and transferred to oak barrels. It then matures for 12 months in French and American oak barrels, adding structure and complexity while preserving the rich dark-fruit character.
