More informations about the variety Oseleta

A very old grape variety grown in Italy that almost disappeared because it is a small producer. In France, it is almost unknown. Oseleta is said to be related to corvina, rondinella, garganega, etc. It should not be confused, on the one hand, with the table grape osella - an interspecific cross of German origin - and, on the other hand, with osel(l)a another Italian wine grape variety.

More informations about the region of Judean Hills

Judean Hills wine region – which is theoretically further divided into the Jerusalem, Gush Etzion and Southern Judean Hills sub-regions – Lies within the Samson region of Central Israel. The Judean Hills (or Mountains) form a low mountain range that dominates the landscape around Jerusalem and the West Bank. Hebron, Bethlehem and Ramallah also lie within the range, which formed the core territory of the Kingdom of Judah where the earliest Jewish settlements were located. Although not one of Israel's better known wine regions (like Upper Galilee and the Golan Heights in Galilee), Judean Hills is an emerging viticultural area, and significant potential has been identified for its future.
