Golan Heights

Golan Heights is a winery based in Israel's Galilee region, an area in the northern part of the country with significant elevation and volcanic soil. The producer focuses on wine production, working with the distinct terroir conditions that the Golan Heights plateau offers—cool nights and warm days that extend the growing season and allow for balanced ripening of classic grape varieties.

The Golan Heights region is known for its cool-climate viticulture despite its Mediterranean location. Elevation ranges from 600 to 1,200 meters above sea level, which moderates temperatures and creates conditions suitable for producing wines with freshness and acidity. The volcanic basalt soils are mineral-rich and provide excellent drainage, characteristics that influence the structure and character of wines produced here. The region has become central to Israel's modern wine industry, with producers focusing on both traditional European varieties and innovative winemaking approaches.

The winery's current range includes red wines, with Cabernet Sauvignon among their offerings—a variety well-suited to the region's climate and soil composition. This reflects the broader focus of Golan Heights producers on structured red wines that benefit from the cooler growing conditions and extended ripening periods the plateau provides.
