    High quality wine is always the result of excellent ingredients. Or Haganuz wines are based on grapes grown in prominent vineyards in the area of Or Haganuz, Mount Meron and Dalton. The vineyards enjoy the unique northern Galilee climate at heights ranging from 780 to 870 meters (2400 - 2500 feet) above sea level, which is optimal for high quality grapes. These vineyards grow in plots rich with history that can be tracedback hundreds of years. Or Haganuz Winery was founded in 2005 at the foot of Mount Meron, and it strives to produce high quality wines with a true “boutique” feeling. Grapes are strictly selected from among the senior vineyards separately for each series. The harmony between the soil and the different wines transforms the entire production into a much more personal process. The unique blends combine high quality vineyards and the special terroir of the Mount Meron region is one to give Or Haganuz wines the rich aromas and flavors that characterize them.

    Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.

    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.
