Sustainable Winery

Galil Mountain Winery

In the Upper Galilee, near Kibbutz Yiron, we discovered the beauty of a free-flowing connection with nature. Experiencing this connection led to the establishment of a winery whose approach and actions are free and creative.

 

We work with nature, generating sustainable relationships with the earth and the vineyards growing from within it. It’s important for us to maintain that which exists. To serve life in this environment. To give back.

 

Sustainable Winery

Our future and the future of upcoming generations is in our hands, and that’s not a cliché. We find ourselves at a time and place in which we can make an impact and improve the quality of life for ourselves and our children.

 

We at Galil Mountain Winery have taken upon ourselves countless projects for making sustainability a way of life in our Winery, our vineyards, and our social surroundings. There’s no doubt that for an organization that lives and prospers from nature’s treasures as a source of essential raw materials, it’s only natural to try and do the utmost to keep nature healthy and essential over time.

 

Since beginning the process of introducing our sustainability vision at Galil Mountain Winery, we haven’t remained stagnant. Rather, we’ve continued to innovate and act for the good of our environment and society. Our activities include a solar-powered electricity generating system on the Winery’s rooftop, a wastewater treatment system, a solar energy system in place of diesel, and more…

Our Secret

Blend of Contrasts

Both Galil Mountain Winery and its wine portfolio maintain a distinctive character resulting from a

unique blend of contrasts.

 

Deep Heritage, Modern Technology 

Situated in a beautiful region where quality grapevines were cultivated over 2,000 years ago, the smartly designed winery features cutting-edge production facilities.

 

Local Roots, Global Presence 

Closely connected with its local community and physical surroundings of forested slopes, stony gorges and running streams, Galil Mountain is a global winery whose products are available in wine stores and restaurants across North America, Europe and Asia.

 

Rich Flavor, Consistent Taste

Integrating a range of flavors and characters reflecting the Winery's diverse mix of vineyards, Galil Mountain's wines feature distinct characteristics and tastes that remain consistent over the years.

 

Youthful Approach, Veteran Backing

Founded in 2000, Galil Mountain is young in both age and spirit – always willing to experiment and explore new winemaking opportunities – while leveraging its world-class expertise and experience together with that of its parent winery, Golan Heights Winery.

 

High-Quality Product, Down-to-Earth Offering

Ranked among Israel's best wines, Galil Mountain's offering is suitable not only for special occasions, but also for everyday experiences anytime, anywhere.

Our Vineyards

The quality of a wine starts in the vineyard – and the quality of a vineyard is a function of several factors. From designated growing areas, climate and precipitation to topography, soil type and wind direction, each parameter greatly influences the quality and taste of the final product.

 

Galil Mountain Winery's six well-kept vineyards are located in the Upper Galilee, near the Winery's facilities. Situated in elevated regions at altitudes ranging from 420 to 800 meters above sea level, each vineyard exhibits a set of distinctive characteristics.

 

This diverse array of cultivated areas means that each harvest features a mix of grapes that uniquely contributes to Galil Mountain's offering. Such diversity, combined with the Winery's cutting-edge production facilities and highly professional staff, enables Galil Mountain to bring out the best in its grapes, and produce complex wines that are rich in flavors and aromas.

 

Overseeing the entire winemaking process, Galil Mountain's skilled and seasoned winemakers leverage these assets to create a line of wines that reflects the Winery's unique nature.
