Kosher Red Wine · Galilee, Israel · Signature Series
A Mediterranean-style red from the winery Baron Edmond de Rothschild founded in 1882. Carmel's Signature "2 Vats" is a small-lot blend from Galilee vineyards — warm, generous, dark-fruited — and it is fully kosher, which makes it one of the easiest answers in the shop to "I need a serious bottle for a kosher table."
Baron Edmond de Rothschild — of the family behind Château Lafite — founds Carmel, planting French vines in the soil of the Levant. It becomes the historic house of Israeli wine.
Galilee Fruit
The Signature series draws on vineyards in the Galilee, where altitude and cool nights slow the ripening and keep freshness in a warm-climate wine.
Two Vats
"2 Vats" means what it says — a small-lot blend assembled from just two selected vats, made in a warm, dark-fruited Mediterranean style rather than a Bordeaux imitation.
Kosher Throughout
Made under full kosher supervision from vineyard to bottle — a wine that belongs on any table, and is required at some.

Questions
Is this wine kosher?
Yes — Carmel wines are produced under full kosher supervision from vineyard to bottle. If you need certification details for a specific occasion, contact us before ordering and we'll confirm the current bottling's supervision.
What does "2 Vats" mean?
The Signature series names each wine after the number of selected vats that went into the final blend. Two vats means a genuinely small lot — chosen, not pumped from a production line.
What style should I expect?
A warm, generous Mediterranean red — dark plum and mulberry fruit, sweet spice and a wild-herb edge, with soft tannins. Closer in spirit to the southern Rhône than to Bordeaux.
Who is this a good gift for?
Anyone keeping a kosher table, obviously — but it stands on its own as a serious Israeli red from the country's most historic producer. A strong choice for Shabbat dinners, Jewish holidays, housewarmings and thank-yous.
Can you deliver it directly to the person I'm gifting?
Yes — enter their address at checkout and add your message. In London it can be at their door within 30–45 minutes, any hour of the day. The recipient must be 18+ with ID for our Challenge 21 check.
