Rimon Winery, a new Israeli winery and producer of the world’s
finest pomegranate wines, has released an exotic new dessert wine ideal
for Valentine’s Day. A known aphrodisiac and symbol of temptation and
pleasure, the pomegranate transformed into this lush, full-bodied
dessert wine is perfect for sweethearts and lovers.
Made from pure
pomegranate, this unique wine has three times the antioxidant power of
red wine or green tea, plus a wealth of vitamins and minerals.
Unlike
other pomegranate alcoholic beverage products on the market, Rimon
wines, which include dessert, dry, and port-style wines, are not
flavored alcohol. They are actual wines made by virtually the same
processes as grape-based wines. The pomegranates are harvested at
optimum ripeness and crushed for their juice, which is then fermented
at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit’s
natural and healthful qualities. After fermentation, the wines are aged
in French oak barrels.
What sets Rimon Winery apart from its
competitors is the unique flavor of its wines, derived from a new
variety of pomegranate developed by father and son Gaby and Avi
Nachmias, owners of Rimon Winery. The Nachmias family, a third
generation farming family in Israel’s Upper Galilee, has cultivated a
“super fruit” that is sweeter, deeper in color, and richer in vitamins
and antioxidants than other pomegranate varieties.
Rimon Winery also makes pomegranate dry wine and port-style wine, which will be available in the United States in spring 2008.
