Morad Winery in Yokneam has specialized in fruit wines for decades, and their pomegranate is the classic — pressed from Wonderful-variety fruit at peak ripeness, fermented, and aged 12 months in stainless steel. The reference kosher pomegranate wine for Rosh Hashanah and the Simchas Torah dessert table.

Mood: Ruby, festive, seasonal.

Tasting Notes

Vivid ruby in the glass. Nose is pure pomegranate — bright red fruit, cranberry, a hint of strawberry compote. The palate is medium-sweet with a signature tart edge that keeps it lively, cranberry and rose-hip flavors, and a clean, refreshing finish that isn't sugary.

Food Pairing

The Rosh Hashanah simanim bottle par excellence — pair with honey-glazed chicken, brisket with dried fruit, apple cake, or a spread of new-year fruit. Also welcome at Kiddush, sponge cake, or an afternoon simcha where a lower-key sweet wine works.
