Our Vineyards

We planted our vineyards along the valleys of Givat Yeshayahu. The annual rainfall is about 510 millimeters per year, and a cool breeze blows through the creek during the better part of the day.

Because of the cold air that sinks to the valley floor, the area remains relatively cool during the day and the temperature drops further at night. The end result: a dry climate and an excellent temperature spectrum, ideal for growing grapes.

We believe in sustainable agriculture – a method combining traditional growing with aerated healthy vines, minimal intervention, and careful consideration for the vineyard’s natural surroundings

Givat Yishayahu W.

Soil Type: Terra Rossa, Limestone
Vineyard Age: 4-8 years
Yield Per Dunam: 700-900 kg
Grape varieties: Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Semillon
Winegrowers: Shmuel and Yair Tamir

 

The Western vineyard is planted along the Khlil Stream. The soil is Alluvial, with a high ratio of rock. The soil in these vineyards is quite deep and well drained – allowing the vines to reach satisfactory depth.

The double trellising method of 440 plants per dunam creates density in the upper growth of the vine, providing a natural shade for the grapes that allows them to mature in optimal conditions.
