The wine region of Upper Galilee
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: Table wine
Everything that is not VQPRD (European designation for all appellation wines: quality wine produced in a specific region). In principle, the bottom of the ladder. But, as in Italy a decade ago (Vino da Tavola), this category is also a refuge for wines that are out of the ordinary, whose producers refuse to accept certain grape variety or vinification dictates.
