The Yarden Bar’on Vineyard presents complex characters of ripe black fruits, chocolate, smoke, earth and tobacco, layered with hints of flowers. This full-bodied single-vineyard wine displays impressive concentration of flavor and a pleasingly long finish.

Though pleasurable to drink upon release, the Yarden Bar’on Vineyard will continue improving in the bottle over the next number of years, and stay in excellent drinking condition for over ten years from vintage. This festive wine is a great companion to classic rack of lamb, roast beef, or creamy mushroom risotto.

With fruit harvested exclusively from the Bar’on Vineyard, this blended single vineyard wine is produced from Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Verdot. Certified sustainable, the Bar’on Vineyard is located in the northern Golan Heights at an elevation of 1,040 meters (3,400 feet). Since these blending percentages reflect the proportions of the varieties grown in this vineyard, the wine provides unique insight into this specific site. The wine aged for 18 months in French oak barrels.

The Appellation

The Galilee (or Galil) is the most northern, and generally considered the best, appellation in Israel. The highest quality area within the appellation is the Golan Heights (or simply the Golan), the coldest region in Israel. The vineyards on this volcanic plateau rise from 400 meters (1,300 feet) above sea level to 1,200 meters (3,900 feet) and receive snowfall in the winter. Golan Heights Winery is located in the town of Katzrin in the central Golan.
