The Excellence of the Judean Heights
Psagot Devine (also known as Edom) is the flagship wine of the Psagot winery.

With an altitude that ensures cool nights, this wine develops a complexity that rivals the best Bordeaux, while maintaining a mineral and spicy identity unique to the Mediterranean Levant.
