Description
For Tzora Vineyards, the message is in the “terroir,” or the sense of place. It’s a lens through which the winery appreciates the effect of a vineyard’s soil and climate on the colour, scent and taste of the wine produced in the area. Founded in 1993, Tzora nurtures three vineyards in Israel’s breathtaking Judean Hills, near Jerusalem: one in Giv’at Hachalukim; one in Shoresh; and one in Neve Ilan. Winery founder Ronnie James was inspired by the region and set out to produce wines that reflected the best terroirs of a region so well-suited for growing wine grapes.
Launched in 1997, the Tabor Winery is the namesake of Kfar Tabor, a century-old agricultural settlement in the heart of Israel’s Galilee region. It’s a distinct area from a geological perspective, as various shifts and erosion over thousands of years have produced a unique blend of four different soil types: basalt, limestone, clay and terra rosa, each having its own impact on the colour, aroma and flavour of the grapes that emerge from the ground.
