The Golan Heights, located in northern Israel, is an emerging wine region renowned for its high-quality wines. This unique terroir benefits from a cool climate due to its high altitude, ranging from 400 to 1200 meters, providing excellent conditions for viticulture. Winters are cold with moderate rainfall, while summers are cool and sunny, allowing for a slow and even ripening of the grapes.
The volcanic soils, rich in minerals, combined with innovative vineyard management, contribute to the creation of expressive and distinctive wines. The most cultivated grape varieties on the plateau include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc, all of which produce wines that are both elegant and intense.
The growing success of Golan wines is also attributed to the adoption of advanced viticultural techniques and meticulous attention to detail in the winemaking process. Since the 1980s, the plateau has become a key player on the international wine scene, attracting the attention of wine enthusiasts worldwide who are in search of distinct and authentic flavors. The Golan vineyards offer an exciting wine tourism experience set against a breathtaking landscape.
