Bright golden color with some green reflections. The nose shows some nice citrusy notes, with hints of ripe peach, fresh cream, and green apple. Medium-bodied, slightly creamy, with notes of ripe golden apple, lemon, and almonds, the oak is subtle. The mid-palate shows some light green notes, medium acidity, with hints of orange peel and vanilla lemon pith on a medium finish.
Odem Mountain Description
Odem Mountain Winery was established by Idit & Michael Alfasi in the year of 2003, after much searching, rethinking and planning. We had a shared dream upon creating a familial enterprise in the Golan Heights along with our sons' generation and out of our deep love to wine. All of these combined en route for establishing a boutique familial winery making special, creative, quality wines, but most of all – tasty.

The ’21 Odem Mountain Volcanic Chardonnay is smoky and mineral, just as its name suggests, though it is not aping Chablis. It is a very pale straw in color, and the bouquet marries that smokiness and flinty minerality with ripe pear, nectarine, and tropical fruit notes. The palate is medium-bodied, with juicy white fruit notes and gunflint all leading to a mouthwatering finish.
