Winemaker Notes
While we most enjoy Golan Moscato with dessert, others enjoy it as an aperitif or along with some cool slices of melon on a warm summer afternoon. Golan Moscato is best enjoyed on the fresh side, within about a year and a half of the harvest.
Soil. Topography. Climate. These are the three distinct grape growing conditions for producing quality wines on an international level. In Israel, such optimal conditions exist in the Golan Heights. Everything in this magical strip of land begins with the right conditions in the Golan, a combination of volcanic basaltic soil, suitable topography and high altitude resulting in cool climate. This is what gives the Golan Heights its second name: "Wine Country." Over the years, the distinctive wines of the Golan Heights Winery have placed Israel on the world wine map.
Founded in 1983, Golan Heights Winery has played a significant role in developing and nurturing Israel's modern wine culture. Golan Heights Winery encompasses three brands Yarden, Gilgal and Mount
Hermon that are considered Israel's leading premier wines. The winery is a leader in technological innovation and precision viticulture, best practices which have fueled the development of Israel's modern wine era. Since 2007, Golan Heights has also driven replanting initiatives throughout Israel to ensure the health of the vine, and is the official partner for ENTAV, the world leader in vine propagation and nursery. Likewise, as a result of its commitment to sustainability along with Galil Mountain Winery, the winery’s vineyards have been the first to be certified sustainable internationally under the rigorous and renowned LODI RULES program.
