Israel. Matatia is an extraordinary gift, honoring the man whose vision is the inspiration for Dalton Winery. Produced during outstanding years and in limited quantities, Matatia is about supreme quality and selectiveness. This wine embodies an eminence which is as rare and exceptional as the man himself. Matatia is a project that is always several years in the making and is named after Mat Haruni, without whom there would be no Dalton Winery.

Pair with turkey, hamburgers, pizza, or even dark chocolate.

Matatia is dark purple in colour, rich with fragrant notes of forest fruit, blueberries and raspberries, spiced with earthy hints of tobacco and licorice. The wine is full-bodied, well-structured complex and elegant with very good aging potential.

All Dalton wines are strictly Kosher Le Mehadrin and Kosher for Passover. They are under the supervision of the Merom Galil Rabbinate, Rabbi Yoseph Mishalil; Beit Din Yoreh Deya, Rabbi Shlomo Machpud; Rabbi Mordechai Ungar of Monsey New York and the Orthodox Union (OU).

The vineyards for the wine were preselected and attended special care throughout the years. Yields were dramatically reduced in order to increase the flavour concentration in the remaining grapes. Harvest was in late September and early October. The grapes for this wine came from separate vineyards that were picked and fermented separately. During fermentation, the grape cap was pumped over several times a day to increase the depth of colour and levels of extraction of the wine in the gentlest way possible.

Before completing fermentation, the wine was pressed out, and the free run wine was separated and used to make this wine. Malolactic fermentation was then encouraged and when completed the wine was racked into a mix of new and old French oak barrels for 24 months. Once the aging was complete each individual barrel was tasted for quality and only the wines of the very highest quality made it to the final blend. The wine was further aged for a year in the bottle before release.

Winemaker Description

The wine was pressed out just before completing fermentation and Malolactic fermentation was encouraged, once completed the wine was racked into French oak barrels for 12 months, after which each parcel was individually tasted, the final blend was made and allowed to age for a further six months in small French barriques.

Memo Summary Notes

The 2023 Pinto Holot Negev Desert White is a standout example of the "Desert Terroir" movement in Israel. Produced by the Pinto Winery in Yeruham, this wine is part of an ambitious project to prove that premium, complex wines can be grown in the extreme conditions of the Negev Desert.

Managed by renowned winemaker Yaacov Oryah, this specific vintage is noted for its surprising freshness and sophisticated oak integration.

Pinto is a "rising star" boutique winery. The "Holot" (Sands) series represents their premium level. Because the Negev has extreme temperature swings (hot days, very cold nights), the grapes develop high sugar while maintaining a "snappy" acidity. The 2023 vintage is particularly praised for balancing the power of Roussanne with the finesse and citrus "lift" of Chenin Blanc.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2020

Vinous 92 Points | The 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Vigneto Sant'Eusanio is spicy and intense, with a vivid blend of black raspberries and cloves offset by worn leather and dusty earth. It floods the palate with silken textures and ripe red and blue fruits underscored by saline minerals and saturation of exotic spice. Gently tannic and dramatically long, this finishes with outstanding clarity and freshness while boasting a structure that will support cellaring.

James Suckling 92 Points | Aromas of well-ripened red fruit and berries, sage, rosemary and clove. Medium-to full-bodied with silky tannins. Juicy and fresh with good clarity and transparency. Succulent finish. Drink now.

Winemaker Description 

The wine name Vigneto Sant'Eusanio means “Vineyard Saint Eusanio,” named after the vineyard itself, like all cru wines made by Valle Reale. It honors Eusanio, a Christian martyr from the 4th century.

In 1999, the Pizzolo Family set out to restore an old Montepulciano d’Abruzzo vineyard on their property. Their deep respect for the land, rooted in generations of farming tradition, led them to an extensive study of the grape’s origins. Years of careful observation and experimentation culminated in 2007, when they committed fully to their passion: producing wines using only indigenous yeasts, embracing the unpredictability of spontaneous fermentation. They refined their approach with the pied de cuveé technique, guided by the expertise of winemaker Enrico Antonioli, trained in Burgundy.

Their dedication to natural winemaking allows the rich biodiversity of Valle Reale’s pristine environment to shine through in each bottle. Vigneto Sant’Eusanio is also Kosher-certified (though not Mevushal).

Memo Summary Notes

The Valle Reale "Vigneto Sant'Eusanio" Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2020 is a unique, high-altitude expression of Montepulciano that stands out for both its winemaking philosophy and its rare kosher certification for a "cru" Italian wine.

Unlike the heavy, oaky style often associated with the region, this is a "mountain wine"—leaner, high in acidity, and stylistically closer to a Pinot Noir or a cool-climate Syrah.

Its high acidity makes it incredibly versatile. Pairs beautifully with lean red meats, roasted duck, mushroom-based pasta, or eggplant Parmesan. It is also excellent with traditional dishes like slow-cooked brisket.
