If you had a bad glass of kosher wine in your life five or ten years ago, don’t hold it against the industry! Kosher wine has improved dramatically in the past several years, with bottles being produced everywhere from Chile to New Zealand. And as more and more wineries continue to embrace kosher wine, the selection of bottles has never been better! Whether you’re looking for a high-alcohol Port Israeli wine or a bottle of light and sweet Bartenura Moscato, there’s a kosher wine out there for you! Unless handled and produced exclusively by Sabbath-observing Jews, kosher wine must be classified as mevushal to maintain its kosher status. Mevushal wines are heated during production, allowing them to remain kosher no matter who touches them. These kosher wines were traditionally boiled, destroying much of the flavor, but modern mevushal wine is heated using flash pasteurization, a process that warms the wine for less than a minute at temperatures below boiling. Accepted as kosher by most Orthodox Jews, flash pasteurization preserves flavor much better than boiling, which has allowed mevushal kosher wine to prove itself in the industry with some exceptional bottles that have even won international awards. One of the most prestigious kosher wine brands on the market is Herzog wine, produced by the legendary Herzog family in California. Herzog wine has won a number of awards and earned recognition on a national and global scale.
Let’s take a look at some of the most coveted bottles:
Herzog Special Reserve Late Harvest White Riesling
Produced in Monterey County, the 2005 vintage of this wine won a gold medal at the Los Angeles International Wine Competition. This Riesling is sweet and low in alcohol, with a rich aroma combining aspects of pineapple, apricot, and apple with a delicious honey aftertaste. Connoisseurs recommend pairing this Herzog wine with fruit desserts or foie gras. Herzog Wine Cellars Special Edition Cabernet Sauvignon
Bottled in 2000, this wine has received accolades from Wine Enthusiast Magazine, the Beverage Testing Institute, and wine expert Anthony Dias Blue. The Reserve Cabernet boasts breathtaking acidity and a rich combination of smoky and fruity flavors. The result is both powerful and balanced – a true favorite in the wine industry. Baron Herzog White Zinfandel
This 2003 Herzog wine won the gold medal in the 2004 New World International Wine Competition, as well as silver medals at the Los Angeles County Fair and Riverside International Wine Competition. The Zinfandel features a variety of interesting components, including strawberry, apple, blackberry, and even cotton candy. This wine pairs well with chicken or fish served with tangy sauce. This is only a sampling of the amazing kosher wines Herzog has to offer, not to mention the entire kosher wine industry. It really is great news, considering how important kosher wine is to so many Jewish rituals, including weddings and Passover Seders. L’chaim!
