The Winery's Vineyards

Our wines are produced from high quality grapes from all the wine growing regions in Israel, from the the Lebanese border in the Galil and the Golan in the North, to the Jerusalem mountains and the coastal plains in the center of the country, to the mountains in the Negev, where our Mitzpeh Ramon Vineyard in the South with its unique climate produces some amazing wines, and whose potential is still being explored.

A significant part of the vineyards are directly owned by the winery, or jointly with other growers, such as the vineyard at Kibbutz Hulda. About one third of the harvest is produced by independent growers under long term contract with the winery, and under its supervision regarding viticultural practices. This supervision is coordinated by the winery's agronomist, Michal Ackerman. She is in close contact with the growers, visiting the vineyards throughout the year, and with the cooperation of the Barkan's winemakers, supervises and instructs the vine-growers on all issues related to cultivating the premium wine grapes that the winery depends on.
