The Legacy of Upper Galilee
"Where the art of Italian jewelry merges with heroic viticulture to create cult wines with a volcanic soul."

The Terroir: Kerem Ben Zimra
Alexander's secret lies in the Upper Galilee, a region internationally recognized by the Israel Export Institute for its oenological potential. This terroir in Kerem Ben Zimra is distinguished by:
Volcanic Soils
The presence of basalt and terra rossa provides a deep minerality, a characteristic that critics from Decanter Magazine have praised in Alexander the Great tastings.
Mountain Microclimate
At 800 meters above sea level, the climatic conditions of Northern Israel allow varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon to preserve their natural acidity.
