Margalit Winery

Winery Story

Margalit is Israel's first and most revered cult winery. Founded by the late Ya'ir Margalit — a chemistry professor who fell in love with Bordeaux — and now run by his son Asaf, the winery produces only a few thousand cases annually. Every wine is a handcrafted statement: no filtration, no fining, wild yeast fermentation, and extended maceration. The Margalit Enigma is arguably Israel's most complex and age-worthy red wine. Waiting lists for allocations span years. This is Israel's Petrus — tiny, brilliant, and almost impossible to find.
