Tzora Vineyards has been making the case for Judean Hills terroir since 1993, planted on ancient limestone terraces at nearly 2,000 feet of elevation, a dozen miles from Jerusalem, where altitude and Mediterranean breezes keep temperatures honest through harvest. The soil is shallow terra-rossa over limestone — old-vine fruit, low yields, hand-picked at night.

Winemaker Eran Pick MW — the first Israeli to earn the Master of Wine — keeps the recipe clean: cool fermentation, no malolactic, seven months on the lees in a mix of French barriques and stainless steel. The Sauvignon Blanc drives the citrus and gooseberry lift; Chardonnay fills the body; a share of Sémillon provides textural weight that outlasts the first glass. Kosher certified and Kosher for Passover.
