After a long soul search and searching for a plot of land, we planted the Kadita vineyard in the vicinity of Mt.Meron, in the Galilee. The varieties we planted were Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Sirah (Durif). The terroir was chosen because of it's volcanic earth and cool climate. Kadita (850 meters above sea level) is most suitable for the Bordeaux varieties and gives the wines rich fruit flavors and high acids.

Asaf returned to the winery. Hail fell during fruit set, and destroyed half of the chardonnay crop. As a result, the wine was exceptional in its concentration, flavors and quality even today many years from its birth.
The second book "Concepts in Wine Chemistry" was published. The book is designate for winemaking students and winemakers who want to understand the theoretic background of the wine world.

Tough year! Asaf after finishing University moved to California for studies, to gain experience and to work in a big and well based winery – Jekel Vineyards. At the end of his work he continued to spend time at different wine regions of California and made professional visits to many wineries.
