    Gvaot Winery is located in Givat Harel at the heart of Samaria, on the banks of Nahal Shiloh. Around 800m above sea level, this hilly region has an ancient tradition of successful vine cultivation. The combination of advanced technology with unique terroir, which is especially conducive to high-quality vines, helps the winery realize its vision of producing quality wines with a distinctive character and flavor.

    The winery continues an ancient tradition of wine production in this mountainous area. Hundreds of antique wine presses scattered around the renewed vineyards bear witness to this history. The winery was established with the goal of producing exclusive quality wines by combining the raw material of grapes grown in the unique terroire of the central hilly region with professional expertise and modern technology.

    Still, even the finest raw materials require in-depth professional knowledge and loving hands. Gvaot is a boutique family winery founded in 2005 by entrepreneur Amnon Weiss and Chief Winemaker Dr. Shivi Drori, an agronomist and researcher in viticulture and oenology at Ariel University. A research study led by Dr. Drori revealed approximately 60 ancient varieties of wine grapes from the Land of Israel in general, and Samaria in particular, from which wines have been produced for thousands of years.

    The winery produces just 65,000 or so bottles a year, in order to give every bottle personal attention and maintain high quality standards throughout the production process. The wines undergo slow, cold fermentation for optimal preservation of the grapes’ aromas and flavors, and to create especially elegant wines.

    One of the original Bordeaux varieties, Petit Verdot has a bold structure, color and aromas, which allow it to make a significant difference in Bordeaux Blends—even in modest amounts. While it isn’t planted in Bordeaux in great quantities anymore, its virtues are increasingly identified elsewhere. Somm Secret—Producing phenomenal single-varietal wines in hot and dry locations in the New World, Petit Verdot also finds a happy home in parts of Spain as well as in in Portugal’s Alentejo where it gracefully blends with the regions' indigenous varieties.

    With a rich history of wine production dating back to biblical times, Israel is a part of the cradle of wine civilization. Here, wine was commonly used for religious ceremonies as well as for general consumption. During Roman times, it was a popular export, but during Islamic rule around 1300, production was virtually extinguished. The modern era of Israeli winemaking began in the late 19th century with help from Bordeaux’s Rothschild family. Accordingly, most grapes grown in Israel today are made from native French varieties. Indigenous varieties are all but extinct, though oenologists have made recent attempts to rediscover ancient varieties such as Marawi for commercial wine production.

    In Israel’s Mediterranean climate, humidity and drought can be problematic, concentrating much of the country’s grape growing in the north near Galilee, Samaria near the coast and at higher elevations in the east. The most successful red varieties are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, while the best whites are made from Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Many, though by no means all, Israeli wines are certified Kosher.
