History with a Personal Touch – Establishing a Boutique Winery
“If this land has agriculture, this land is our homeland” (Moshe Smilansky, one Israel’s first agriculturalists)
“Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy!” (Benjamin Franklin)
In 2012, after some experience with wine production on a small scale, we decided to establish a winery to create quality boutique wines.
We have chosen to specialize in crafting red wines with a classic French and Italian influence through a blend of select varieties. These include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Marselan, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Sangiovese grapes sourced from the Bin Nun Estate vineyard and from other Judean hills top vineyards with a prominent winegrower.
Our wine undergoes a meticulous production process, commencing in stainless steel tanks and then proceeding to traditional aging and refinement in French oak barrels. By employing natural production methods, we are able to transform grape must into exceptional, high-quality wine
