The Story Behind This Drop

We love this wine for the way it channels its hillside roots, dark cherry, cracked pepper, and a whisper of Mediterranean breeze. Each sip tells the story of Galilee's ancient terroir, where volcanic soils meet generations of winemaking wisdom.

A crisp and elegant white blend from Northwind Community Winery in the Upper Galilee. Crafted with minimal intervention in an Old World style, this wine reflects the cool mountain climate and the winery's commitment to quality and community.

Producer Heritage

Winemaker standing in a barrel cellar

Fourth-generation vintner Yael Ben-Ami continues her family's legacy on the volcanic basalt slopes above the Sea of Galilee. Her 40-year-old vines, planted by her grandfather, produce fruit of exceptional concentration and character.

β€œEach vintage is fermented in open-top concrete tanks, then rested in seasoned French oak, letting the terroir speak without excess wood. The result is a wine that feels both ancient and vividly alive.”

Terroir & Technique

Volcanic Terroir

Ancient volcanic basalt soils provide exceptional drainage and mineral complexity, creating wines of remarkable depth and character.

Mediterranean Climate

Warm days and cool nights from the Sea of Galilee's influence create ideal ripening conditions and preserve natural acidity.

Traditional Methods

Hand-harvested fruit, native yeast fermentation, and careful oak aging honor generations of winemaking wisdom.

Tasting Experience
