Zichron Vineyard

ravitsh — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 11:20:02 +0000

The vineyard’s area is 5 acres, located in the northern side of Hanadiv Valley south of Zichron-Yaakov. This is our youngest vineyard, traditionally known as one of the best vineyard sites in this area which was used to grow grapes by the “Biluim”, the first immigrants back to the Holy-Land in 1882.

The soil is chalky with a south facing, moderate slope. Here we planted three Provence varieties: Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, and three white varieties, Chardonnay, Riesling, and the unique “Margalit Blanc” vareity. The last one is enigmatic and was developed by us from Cabernet Franc (red). The grape yield of the red varieties is about 4 tons per acre and the white varieties is about 3.5 tons per acre.

Kadita Vineyard

ravitsh — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 11:17:21 +0000

The vineyard is located in the Upper Galilee Mountains, close to the Biblical village of Kadita. The area of 7 acres is at 800 meters above sea level. The climate in the winter is cold, rainy, and there is snowfall from time to time in the colder years. The temperatures in the summer are warm during the day and cool at night. The soil is volcanic, a reminder of the geological activity in the past. We think that the cool temperatures and the soil give the wine made from this terroir, its unique fruit flavor and quality.

The varieties in Kadita Vineyard are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and very small amount of Durif. On average, the yield in this vineyard is about 3.5 tons of grapes per acre, (with no fruit thinning or green treatments).
