Or Haganuz Winery
The Hidden Light of Upper Galilee
"In the shadow of Mount Meron, OrHaganuz merges ancient spirituality with precision viticulture. Each bottle is a pure expression of the volcanic terroir and the icy climate of the Galilee heights."
High-Altitude Viticulture
Established in 2005, OrHaganuz Winery has positioned itself as a benchmark in the Upper Galilee. Its location at the foot of Mount Meron allows varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve perfect ripeness, earning accolades on international platforms like Decanter World Wine Awards.
The region's soil, composed of a mix of basaltic rock and limestone, is a determining factor for the freshness of its wines. This geological composition, typical of the Levant faults, imparts a minerality that sommeliers from the WSET highlight for its aging potential.
"Wines created within an ecosystem of harmony, respecting the cycles of the earth and ancient tradition."
