Double Bramble – Raspberry Wine

ravitsh — Sun, 18 May 2025 08:54:34 +0000

This wine is the result of a long-standing friendship and collaboration between Jullius Distillery in the Galilee and the Sagi family farm (“Eretz Raspberry”) in the Judean Hills. Despite the geographic distance, a shared approach to agriculture and sustainable production (not to mention frequent drinking sessions…) has made this creation a lesson in patience and slow, thoughtful craft.

This vintage carries special emotional weight: made from fermented red and black raspberries, it became a thick, rich liquid that aged in barrels with added alcohol for three long years—not by design, but due to the forced slumber of wartime, when the barrels lay dormant in the Hanita cellar until the storm passed.

Despite its complexity and strength—reminiscent of aged port—this is an elegant and approachable drink, equally at home as an apéritif or digestif.

Mashu Mashu – Plum Wine

Each year, we ferment natural plum wine as a base for our distilled slivovitz.
Every now and then, we “steal” a small batch and, instead of distilling it, we let it age in oak barrels—fortified with last year’s plum spirit.

If you like, you could call it a plum wine… raised on its mother’s distillate.

This limited batch of 800 bottles was aged for three years in oak, gaining remarkable depth and concentration. The result lies somewhere on the imagined border between Italian amaretto liqueur and Japanese umeshu.

Plummy and marzipan-like, this amber-hued drink can shine both as a dessert wine and as an elegant apéritif—on ice or neat.
