1. Tradition, History, and Terroir of Jerusalem
The Indisputable Heritage of the Shor Family
Originally established in the historic Old City of Jerusalem in 1848, Zion Winery is officially recognized by The Israel Wine Institute as the commercial winery with the longest uninterrupted history in the country. Under the direction and vision of the sixth generation of the Shor family, the winery fuses ancestral artisanal methods with the most modern standards of precision viticulture.
This combination of century-old tradition and technical innovation has allowed Zion Winery to consolidate a globally prestigious winemaking profile, gaining ground both on family tables for ceremonial blessings and in private cellars of collectors and high-end restaurants.
Ancient Soils of the Judean Hills and Galilee
The winery's key vineyards are strategically located in the Judean Hills, sitting on limestone, terra rossa, and clay soils. This unique geology has been widely analyzed by the Geological Survey of Israel for its exceptional contribution to mineral retention and natural drainage.
On the other hand, its plots in the Upper Galilee take advantage of altitudes exceeding 700 meters above sea level. The marked thermal amplitude between day and night favors slow ripening, which gives red and white varietals balanced acidity, silky tannins, and a notable freshness.
Are you looking for the ultimate historical expression of Israeli wine? At La Cava Shop, we bring the most select labels of Zion Winery directly from Jerusalem, kept at the ideal temperature and ready for fast shipping throughout Mexico.
