Argaman ((ヘブライ語:ארגמן)) is an Israeli wine grape. It is a crossing of Souzão and Carignan.〔T. Stevenson ''"The Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia"'' pg 438 Dorling Kindersley 2005 ISBN 0-7566-1324-8〕 The intention was to produce a variety of wine grape with good rich color, which had been a problem in Israeli wine. Roi Spiegel of the Volcani Institute of Agricultural Research and Shlomo Cohen of the Israeli Wine Institute created the Argaman (lit. "crimson") with this purpose in mind. After hundreds of attempts and micro-vinifications, successful wines were produced from it. Barkan Wine Cellars is one of the wineries that uses the variety.〔(Barkan winery )〕 According to the Oxford Companion to Wine, the Argaman is used primarily for low quality jug wines.〔J. Robinson (ed) ''"The Oxford Companion to Wine"'' Third Edition pg 364-365 Oxford University Press 2006 ISBN 0-19-860990-6〕 However, Segal Wines, produced from Argaman grapes grown in a vineyard in the Upper Galilee, has won prestigious awards, among them a gold medal at the Bordeaux wine competition.〔(Segal Argaman wins Gold Medal at Bordeaux Wine Competition )〕 In addition, Jezreel Valley winery won a silver medal at Terravino 2012 with a red blend which includes Argaman. ==See also== *Agricultural research in Israel 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Argaman (grape)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
