At 13% alcohol, costing under $15, and scoring 16 fine points on the Dionysian scale of 20, the 2013 Midbar Winery Southern White is a delightful warm weather drink.

Medium weight, medium finish, and a bit of a tropical noise, made the wine enjoyable on a hot summer’s day.

I’ve had excellent red wines from Israel, but fewer whites. I’d repeat this selection.

At just six years old, the wines is at peak and holding well. Midbar may be hard to find in your local wine shops, but it’s worth the search.  In Vino Veritas.
