Israeli Wine
The Israeli wine industry is a significant part of the agriculture in Israel, with a history dating back to biblical times. The modern industry was largely shaped in the late 19th century with the influx of Jewish immigrants from Europe, and more recently, growing into a successful enterprise due to the efforts of boutique wineries and the Israeli government.
History
The history of Israeli wine started over 5000 years ago, in the biblical era. The Book of Deuteronomy lists seven blessed species of fruits, with the vine being one of them. The location of Israel along a historic wine trading route between Mesopotamia and Egypt brought winemaking knowledge and influence to the area. Wine played a significant role in Jewish rituals and was a staple product of the land.
Modern Israeli Wine Industry
The modern Israeli wine industry was founded by Baron Edmond James de Rothschild, owner of the Bordeaux estate Château Lafite Rothschild. Today, Israeli winemaking is undergoing a revolution with modern techniques and high-quality results, attracting international acclaim.
Wine Regions
Israel's wine regions include the Galilee, the Sharon plain, Samson, the Judean Hills and the Negev. Each region has a unique climate and geography that contributes to the distinctive wines they produce.
Wine Styles and Varieties
Israeli wines are produced in a variety of styles and varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Israel's wineries also produce a large amount of Kosher wine, which is made in accordance with Jewish dietary laws.
International Recognition
Israeli wines have been receiving an increasing amount of international recognition. Numerous Israeli wines have been awarded gold, silver and bronze medals in international wine competitions.
