Flagship sub-region of Galilee in Israel's far north, high-altitude vineyards (up to 1,000 m) on volcanic basalt and terra rossa, cool climate. Cabernet Sauvignon as a benchmark: dense and structured with signature notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, eucalyptus, spices and a mineral touch, firm tannins and long ageing — the country's most renowned reds. Round Merlot, peppery Cabernet Franc, deep Petit Verdot. Ample Chardonnay (the country's white star), lively reviving Sauvignon.
The wine region of Galilee
Israel's wine heartland in the north, a benchmark quality zone. Powerful, structured reds with signature notes of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, dark chocolate, herbes de Provence and spices, firm tannins and a sun-soaked palate. Dominant international grapes: dense Cabernet Sauvignon, round Merlot, peppery Syrah and colourful Petit Verdot. Round Chardonnay and lively Sauvignon Blanc whites.
The word of the wine: Confit
Said of red wines that offer a very ripe nose of red and black fruits reminiscent of jam. On the palate, these aromas are dominant, the wine is very fleshy and round, and leaves an impression of sweetness on the finish that weighs it down.
