THE WINERY

Golan Heights Winery, Israel’s leading producer of quality wines, was established in 1983 by four kibbutzim and four moshavim (cooperative communities). From its founding until today, the Winery has made its mark and expanded its influence on the Israeli wine world. Its establishment changed the local wine map and shaped the perception of wine quality in the mind of the Israeli consumer. The Winery produces four labels with a range of varieties and styles: Yarden, Gamla, Hermon and Golan.

VINEYARDS

At present, the Winery maintains about 6,300 dunams (630 hectares) of grape-yielding vineyards. The Winery has planted some 20 varieties of grapes in 28 vineyards divided into roughly 450 blocks, at elevations ranging from 400 to almost 1,200 meters. Each vineyard block is mapped and cataloged, with constant monitoring of its various parameters including soil conductivity, growth, water condition in the vine, and more. 

VINIFICATION

2017 was yet another vintage of excellent quality.

The 2017 Yarden Sauvignon Blanc is made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc fruit harvested from vineyards on the cool northern Golan Heights

Ageing: A small percentage of the wine fermented in French oak barrels, adding a bit of complexity and volume.
