Domaine du Castel, La Vie Rouge du Castel (Kosher), 2023
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
From the Judean Hills just west of Jerusalem, La Vie Rouge du Castel is Domaine du Castel’s more casual, early-drinking red—but it carries all the estate’s trademark precision and balance. A blend of Bordeaux varieties (primarily Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot), the 2023 vintage is smooth and inviting, with vibrant fruit and a subtle herbal edge.
The wine opens with ripe red cherry, plum, and a hint of warm spice, followed by soft tannins and fresh acidity that keep it lively. There’s a distinctly Mediterranean feel—sun-soaked but not heavy, with a gentle earthiness underneath. Fully Kosher and Kosher for Passover, it’s ideal for both festive occasions and everyday meals.
Pair with roasted chicken, grilled vegetables, or anything with herbs and olive oil. For those who want a Kosher red that’s elegant without being formal, La Vie Rouge hits the mark—serious enough for wine lovers, but easy enough to pour any night of the week.
