Wine: Rimon Show Pomegranate Can Do Wine Too!

September 8, 2009

Waitrose Wine Buyer Ken Mackay is the youngest master of wine in the world and the first one to open his hands and mind to pomegranate wine “Pomegranates are a big hit with Waitrose shoppers, so we are pleased to be the first UK retailer to offer Rimon Winery’s Pomegranate Dessert Wine. This wine is a perfect after-dinner drink for the autumn. It matches well with fruit puddings, such as crumble, and will be a delicious accompaniment to a cheese board.”

For centuries, the pomegranate has been recognised as a super fruit, containing A, B, and C vitamins as well as being rich in antioxidants. Truly, it is one of nature’s wonders. For the last six years the Nachmias family, have been producing the only pure 100% pomegranate wine in the world! pomegranate_wine

Rimon is the exclusive producer of the world’s only 100% pure pomegranate wine. Since 2003, father and son, Gaby and Avi Nachmias have been producing a unique pomegranate wine from their orchard located on a mountain in Upper Galilee, Israel.

Cultivated a “super fruit” that is sweeter, deeper in colour, and richer in vitamins and antioxidants than other pomegranate varieties, Having cultivated this special pomegranate themselves, they registered a patent for it called ‘NG’, after Gaby’s full name of Nachmias Gabriel.
The ‘NG’ is famous for its high juice content, soft tannins, sweetness and rich flavours, to which the father and son team attribute their phenomenal success. The health-giving properties of the fruit are also still contained in this unique wine, it has three times the antioxidant power of normal red wine or green tea, as well as a wealth of vitamins and minerals.

All Rimon wines witch include a dry, dessert and port style pomegranate wines are produced according to the highest quality winemaking standards and all are certified Kosher. Best served chilled
