"The hidden light of the Upper Galilee: a rosé that harmonizes the mysticism of the terroir with a crystalline freshness."
Vibrant Essence of Mount Meron
The Or HaGanuz Amuka Rosé is a masterpiece from the Or HaGanuz winery. Located in the settlement of Or HaGanuz, at the foot of Mount Meron, the winery takes advantage of an altitude of 800 meters above sea level. This rosé is the result of an early harvest and a cold fermentation process that preserves the natural acidity and primary aromas of the fruit. It is a wine that combines the spiritual heritage of its land with world-class winemaking techniques, achieving an elegant, dry, and highly refreshing profile.
