Château Golan ( Hebrew: יקב שאטו גולן) is an Israeli winery established in 1999, and is one of Israel's most extravagant. [2] It is located in the southern Golan Heights, near the point where the Yarmuk River and wadi Ruqqad meet.
The winemaker is Uri Hetz. [3] The winery features a French-style Château, built from basalt, which is also used for art exhibitions. [4]
The winery grows thirteen grape types, including Bordelaise varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot; Mediterranean varieties of French and Spanish origin: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Petite Syrah, Roussanne, Grenache blanc and Viognier; and the Portuguese variety Touriga Nacional. Production is about 75,000 bottles annually [1]
