Holy Land Wines
Israeli wines are an extraordinary contribution to both the wine and culinary world. Mediterranean scents, tastes, climate, terrior, atmosphere and culture all contribute to the uniqueness and authenticity of these wines. Did you know that the Israeli population is composed of immigrants from five continents and more than 100 countries?! Every element of Israeli everyday life and history plays a huge part in these wines. Winemaking in Israel stretches back thousands of years as found in the Torah and Old Testament. The modern wine industry resurfaced in the 1970’s, making a great comeback on the world stage. Mendelbaum’s wines focus on wines made from varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Carignan, Chardonnay, Gewurtztraminer, Marsanne, Merlot, Mourvedre, Petit Syrah, Petit Verdot and Syrah. These varietals are used to produce extremely well balanced blends or produced as single varietals which showcases their uniform uniqueness and complexity.
Kfar Tikva
In 2003, the Itzhaki family fulfilled their long-held vision by founding the Tulip Winery, an expression of their great love of wine and huge love of people. This was a true milestone – combining fine, high quality wines with a committed contribution to the community.
The hillside in Kfar Tikva, a small and pastoral settlement for residents with special needs, was the perfect and most natural setting for building the winery. The winery’s inspiring and thriving model of employing members of the community and providing a platform for their integration into the labor market just like ordinary people, formed an extraordinary, strong, inseparable and rooted connection. aq````
