Golan Heights Winery

From the cradle of the world's wine industry, the Golan Heights Winery is in the forefront of Israel's growing global acclaim for producing quality wines.

Yarden Cabernet Sauvignon

Yarden is the premier label and flagship brand of Golan Heights Winery, Israel's third-largest winery. Founded in 1983 in the village of Katzrin in northeastern Israel, the Golan Heights Winery ushered in a new era in Israel's 6,000-year-old wine culture. It led the way by bringing in expert consultants from California, trained in modern winemaking technology and adhering to international quality standards. Since its inception, the winery also focused exclusively on high quality, classic vinifera varieties, growing them in the highest regions of the Golan Heights (also known simply as the Golan), where the volcanic soils, cooling breezes, and sun-drenched days are ideal for the winery's state-of-the-art viticulture.

While tropical fruits such as dates and bananas are grown in the area around the Sea of Galilee, a dramatic change in altitude and climate makes the Golan Heights the country's coolest region and considered the best for producing high-quality wine grapes. With gently rolling green hills dotted by extinct volcanoes, well-drained volcanic basalt soil, and vineyard elevations ranging from 1,300 to 3,900 feet, the Golan is an ideal combination of geography, geology, and climate. Summers are dry with cool, steady breezes from snow-capped Mount Hermon, making for a long growing season. Snowfalls are common in the winter. The ripe, concentrated grapes grown in these conditions respond beautifully to the vintner's art, revealing the unique characteristics of the Golan's terroir.

Because of the Golan's long, dry growing season and cool mountain breezes, Yarden wines have a delicious balance of fruit, structure, and freshness that complement not only Israel's native Mediterranean dishes but also a wide range of international cuisines.
