Demystifying the Bushel: A Journey Through Kosher Wines

As we embark on our journey to demystify the bushel, it's essential to understand that kosher wines have come a long way from their traditional roots. With advancements in technology and winemaking techniques, these wines are now comparable to some of the best wines from around the world. In this article, we'll delve into three exceptional kosher wines that will help you appreciate the complexity and diversity of the bushel.

First up is the Grey Sail by Manischewitz. This Bordeaux-style wine is a perfect representation of the modern bushel's capabilities. With its approachable and easy-drinking profile, it's an excellent choice for those new to kosher wine. The aroma is delicious, with notes of myrtle, making it a great addition to any dessert or cheese platter.

The Manischewitz Grey Sail is also notable for its blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, and 22% Petit Verdot. This unique combination creates a wine that's both full-bodied and smooth, with flavors of dark fruit and spices. One of the most impressive aspects of this wine is its aging potential, which can last for up to 10 years with proper storage.

Moving on, we have the Herzog Variations 5 Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine takes a different approach by highlighting the nuances of single-vineyard wines from the same region. With 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, this wine is an excellent representation of classic California-style Cabernet. The aromas are more pronounced, with upfront fruit and opulent flavors, making it perfect for those who enjoy bold wines.

The Herzog Variations 5 Cabernet Sauvignon is also notable for its use of the "Variations" concept, which aims to educate consumers about the subtle differences between wines from different regions. This wine, in particular, offers a unique opportunity to appreciate the characteristics of single-vineyard wines from Herzog's vineyards.

Next up is the Moshav Osho, also known as Move Osho. This wine is part of a popular series by the Moshav Winery and has gained popularity among kosher wine enthusiasts. Available in half bottles, it makes an excellent addition to any stock basket or gift for friends and family.

The Moshav Osho is a great representation of the modern bushel's ability to produce high-quality wines that are approachable and easy-drinking. With its bright aroma profile, featuring notes of aged oranges, apricots, and pineapple lychee, this wine is perfect for those who enjoy fine wine but prefer a more laid-back experience. The Osho series has gained popularity among non-kosher wine drinkers, making it an excellent choice for those looking to try kosher wines.

Finally, we have the Moshav's Grey Sail, also known as the Bartender. This wine is part of a long-standing series by Manischewitz and has become one of the most popular wines in their portfolio. Available in half bottles, it makes a great gift for friends and family or an excellent addition to any stock basket.

The Moshav Grey Sail is a classic representation of kosher wine, with its smooth and approachable profile making it perfect for those new to kosher wine. The aroma is bright and citrusy, featuring notes of aged oranges and apricots, which are reminiscent of a fresh spring morning. This wine is perfect for pairing with desserts or cheese platters, as well as being an excellent choice for those looking to try kosher wines.

In conclusion, the bushel has come a long way in terms of quality and diversity. These three wines – Grey Sail by Manischewitz, Herzog Variations 5 Cabernet Sauvignon, and Moshav Osho (Move Osho) – demonstrate the capabilities of modern kosher wine production. Whether you're looking for approachable and easy-drinking wines or those that showcase complexity and nuance, there's something for everyone in the bushel.
