Or HaGanuz Winery Har Gelili White 2013

Dessert wine made from Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier grapes that were exposed to the sun before harvest using special thinning methods which enhance the concentrated characteristics of the variteals

50% Sauvignon Blanc, 50% Viognier. Or HaGanuz Winery was founded in 2005 and lies at the foot of Mount Meron in the Or HaGanuz settlement, a collaborative, religious community of Orthodox Jews who have adopted the principle of "working for the common good"—similar to the kibbutz model. The name of both the community and winery, translated from Hebrew, means "Hidden Light" and is derived from Kabbalah, referring to the original light described in the Bible as the first act of creation. The Or HaGanuz vineyards enjoy the unique climate of the Upper Galailee mountains, at a height of 2,259-2,854 feet above sea level, which is optimal for a variety of high-quality grapes.
