Israel's wines have come of age after world leading wine critic Robert Parker declared 14 Israeli wines to be world class vintages in his first review of the country's industry. The significant recognition is widely seen as an exciting new stage in the development of Israel's burgeoning wine trade. Set sail for a waterway tour featuring star wines of Israel – Savor the Mediterranean

       

Everyone in Israel already knows the country has some excellent wines, but now the secret is out after leading US wine critic, Robert Parker, reviewed wines from 40 Israeli wineries, and awarded 14 wines top scores of over 90 points. This is the first time Parker has tasted Israeli wines and many regard it as a breakthrough not just in terms of recognition, but in putting the kosher label to rest.

"Israel's image in America is of a country selling kosher wines for the Jewish market," Montefiore told ISRAEL21c. "In Parker's tasting six of the best wines and 11 of the leading 14 wines just happened to be kosher. He himself points out that this label is not relevant to the quality of the wine. This is massive."
