Winemaker's Note

This excellent ruby red wine is made with the classic Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grapes, cultivated in a narrow hilly district between the Adriatic Sea and the Appennine Mountains. This ruby red coloured wine has a delicate vinous aroma, with hints of red fruits and ripe cherry. Montepulciano is dry, soft and well-balanced; its low tannic content perfectly matches with the crisp acidity. It is a medium bodied wine, well structured and pleasant to be drunk at any time. Ideally served with first dishes and roast meats. Perfect with cheeses.

Pomegranates have long been a part of Jewish cooking Fruit arrives in time for Rosh Hashanah

One of the "seven species" of foods native to biblical Israel, the pomegranate was a key element of Rosh Hashanah -- the Jewish new year -- centuries before promotion of suspected health benefits splashed the juice into all manner of smoothies, cocktails and other drinks.

The roots of Jewish cooking, however, are in the Middle East, where the Jews came from, and it was heavily influenced by the cuisine of Ancient Egypt and the Byzantine Empire. It has been suggested, for example, that the major role played by garlic, leek and onions in Jewish cooking is due to these influences. Arab and Moorish cooking had an equal influence on the Jewish cuisine. At the same time, aspects of Jewish cooking were often adopted by the cultures in which they lived. The rose jam which is typical of Russian and Galician cookery, for example, may have originally been imported by Jews during the golden age of Jewish culture in Spain. As other Semitic peoples, the Jews have dietary laws; the basic laws of kashrut are in the Biblical book of Leviticus. Food not in accord with Jewish law is termed treifah or treif (טרפה) ("torn"); according to Orthodox and Conservative Judaism, Jews are only allowed to eat kosher.

Kosher Wines from Portugal

Portugal is one of the most renowned producers of wine in the world, but its reputation is based not on table wine, but on the fortified wines of Port and, less so, Madeira.

But Portugal also produces a few excellent table wines, particularly in the north of the country.

There is an eclectic mix of grape varieties, and undoubtedly the leader of the pack is the Touriga Nacional.

This grape is the basis for fine Ports and the red wines of the Douro, as well as having an increasing presence in many other regions.
