Galilee

What makes the Galilee region stand out?

Located in the northern part of Israel, the Galilee features high altitudes (reaching over 1000 meters in places) and soil of volcanic and limestone origin. Cool nights here slow down grape ripening, allowing them to retain natural acidity and accumulate deep aromas. These styles dominate the assortment:

• Rich Reds: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah varieties grow perfectly in the region. The red wine produced from them features notes of dark berries, spices, and earth, along with firm tannins.
• Crisp Whites: In the higher zones (Golan Heights, Upper Galilee), an excellent, crisp, and mineral white wine is born from Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc grapes.

Food pairing tips

Rich Galilee reds pair perfectly with fire-roasted meat, lamb stews, and classic Mediterranean dishes. White beverages will ideally refresh you when tasting light hummus, falafel, or fresh vegetable snacks.
