Segal - Levant Argaman 75 cl

Dry deep red wine with a long finish in which you can taste forest fruits, wood and spicy and soft creamy notes in the background. The solid full wine is very accessible and not really heavy. The Argaman grape is a cross between the Carignanen Souzao grape. Professor Roy Spiegel of the Vulcani Institute developed the crossing. The name Argaman is Hebrew for deep purple. The wine can be aged for 3 to 5 years. The solid full wine is very accessible and not really heavy. Levant is the old name for the eastern part of the Mediterranean.
