The grapes are the fruit of well-groomed vines over 30 years old, grown in the winery’s unique vineyards at 870 meters above sea level, in the Dalton Plateau in the Upper Galilee. The soil is saturated with limestone and basalt gives the wine its unique taste. The fruit is carefully selected and transported to the winery.

The wine label: The illustration on the label is a painting by Charles Le Bern who painted Alexander the Great at the city gate of Babylon. The winery acquired the right to use this special painting.
