Barkan winery was born at the end of the 19th century. Its current incarnation is a wine paradise. So how did we do that?
It was actually simple. From the very first days of our existence, we have concentrated our attention on one thing only: grapes’ quality. The top-grade breeds were brought from all over the world and put in Barkan vineyards in Israel. Nowadays, there are dozens of breeds occupying a grand total of over 10 square kilometers of vineyards in winery’s possession, while every breed is grown in an area suitable for it.
The saying “The past is the best prophecy of the future” symbolizes the traditional-modern perception according to which the winery operates today. Although the winery is most definitely a commercial and modern enterprise, a meticulous eye is always still kept on the grapes, which are cultivated and handpicked in our vineyards. The geographic locations of our vineyards have been carefully chosen from the optimal vine-growing regions in the country – from Sde Boker in the south, to the Golan Heights in the north.
