The rich Golan Heights soil lying over a cap of basalt rock, the ideal wine growing climate, and the careful attention paid to all aspects of the natural wine production process, all contribute to the outstanding quality of the Cabernet Sauvignon produced by the Bazelet Hagolan winery. Grapes are harvested by hand allowing for a careful inspection of each cluster insuring that only the best quality grapes are processed. The resulting wine is aged in special oak casks designed to bring out the unique flavor and aroma of the wine.

Located in Moshav Kidmat Zvi, on the Golan Heights, the wines of the Bazelet Hagolan boast anunusually high alcohol content accomplished without compromising the delicate and fruity taste of the wine. During fermentation you can actually see the alcohol level rising to 14% and above which is a rare achievement among Israeli red wines. And while most vinters use the cabernet grapes as a base, integrating them with other grapes the Bazelet hagolan boutique winery uses cabernet grapes exclusively.

The company offers two wine labels and a specialty grape product:

Cabernet Sauvignon: Aged approximately 6 months in oak casks (the 2004 harvest aged 22 months). The distinctive bronze label bottles retails in Israel for IS 85.

Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve: The grapes selected for this wine are the best of the season, aged for a minimum of 14 months (the 2004 harvest aged 22 months). The distinctive silver label bottles retails in Israel for IS 120.

Grappa: Traditional made from the leftover skins, grape products and seeds of grapes used during the wine making process, these “exhausted” grapes produce a 40% alcohol wine product (80 proof) which has a remnant sweet taste. Sold in designer bottles for I.S. 50 in Israel.
