Matar is Pelter Winery's kosher arm in the Golan Heights, and the Petit Verdot is its boldest single-varietal — a grape usually reserved for blending, here given the lead. Inky, peppered, and built for serious meals.

Mood: Bold, Spicy, Structured

Tasting notes

Crushed blackberry, violet, black pepper, and cedar. Full-bodied with firm tannin, dark fruit, and a savory herbal underlay. Long and grippy, with spice and graphite holding the close.

Food pairing

Smoked brisket, lamb shoulder, short ribs, and any Yom Tov roast that can stand up to a serious red.
