Tasting Notes

Vibrant yellow with a hint of green, Pinto Holot opens with a highly aromatic nose of floral, tropical fruit, and green tea. On the palate, rich minerality and a full body carry layers of yellow fruit and citrus nuance, with a long, lingering finish. Fermented and aged sur lie in 100% new oak barrels, the wine delivers remarkable depth, structure, and elegance that will continue to evolve with time in the bottle.

About the Wine

Sourced from Yeruham Vineyards deep in the Negev Mountains, this wine is a standout expression of Israel's "Desert Terroir" movement. Produced by Pinto Winery — a rising-star boutique producer — and managed by renowned winemaker Yaacov Oryah, the "Holot" (Sands) series represents their premium tier. The Negev's extreme temperature swings — scorching days and cold nights — yield grapes with high sugar and snappy acidity, perfectly balancing the power of Roussanne with the citrus lift of Chenin Blanc.

Winemaker Description

Psagot’s Chardonnay grapes are harvested from vineyards in the northern Jerusalem Mountains at 750 meters elevation, planted directly into terraced soft limestone bedrock — a terroir that imparts the wine’s signature minerality and crisp acidity. The wine exudes aromas and flavors of pear, green apple, and tropical fruit, with a mellow oak influence that keeps it elegant and food-friendly.

About Psagot Winery

Yaakov Berg — initially trained as a lawyer — followed his father’s passion for wine, spending time in wineries across Australia and New Zealand before founding Psagot in 2003. The name means “peak” or “summit” in Hebrew, a fitting tribute to the winery’s high-altitude Jerusalem Mountains home.

During construction, Yaakov discovered a small cave beneath the winery. Excavation revealed it dated to the Second Temple period and had been used for winemaking — an ancient wine press and period coins were found inside. One of those coins is reproduced on every bottle of Psagot wine, connecting each glass to over two thousand years of winemaking history on this land.

About the M Series — Mevushal

The “M” in M Series denotes that this wine is Mevushal — flash-pasteurized under strict kosher supervision — making it suitable for a wider range of kosher catering, restaurant, and event settings where non-Mevushal wines cannot be served. Full kosher certification; suitable for Passover.

Food Pairings

Grilled sea bass, light-flavored white fish, roast chicken, veal piccata, pasta with cream sauces, and summer salads with goat cheese. An excellent choice for Passover Seder fish and poultry courses.
