Kosher Wine

Kosher means "ritually pure." The conditions are prescribed by Jewish law.

The grapes may only be harvested from the 4th year. No organic fertilization is allowed 2 months before the harvest. Harvesting equipment, vehicle fleet, silo and all technical equipment are meticulously cleaned under rabbinical supervision. Enzymes and bacteria are inadmissible. The yeast fungi on the shell alone stimulate the fermentation.

Gelatine, casein and bull's blood are not permitted for vinification. Only paper filters are permitted. Multiple filling of the bottles is not permitted, only single filling is permitted. In the 7th year, the Shabbat year, no grapes are harvested. The vines should regenerate nutritively and organically.

One percent of the wine production is given to the poor and may not be sold. Only people who honour and observe the Shabbat are allowed to work in the winery.
