Amphorae Wines

Clos de Gat winery is located on the slopes of the Judean Hills, with its vineyards reaching toward the Ayalon Valley. Grapes have been grown on these gently rolling hills for thousands of years—an ancient winepress over 3,000 years old still sits on the winery grounds. A thin layer of soil over limestone and a unique microclimate come together to create ideal conditions for growing exceptional quality wine grapes.

As second generation children of immigrants from Eastern Europe, the land has a special meaning for us. That's why when an opportunity presented itself in the middle of life, we decided to leave the city, move to the village and plant a vineyard. First we focused on studying the soil and growing the grapes. We learned everywhere and from anyone who was willing to share his knowledge and experience with us. Faith in the path, passion for good wine, diligence and a strong desire to succeed led to the blossoming of a beautiful vineyard. In 2012 we decided to come full circle and establish a winery to produce quality boutique wines locally.
