Yatir Winery

Winery Story

Yatir Winery occupies one of the most dramatic wine terroirs on earth: the ancient Yatir Forest in Israel's Negev desert, at 900 metres elevation. Founded in 2000 as a joint venture of Carmel Winery and local Negev kibbutzim, Yatir has defied all expectations, producing wines of extraordinary concentration and complexity from the desert frontier. The unique combination of desert sun, dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, and ancient limestone soils gives Yatir wines their unmistakable character. Their flagship Yatir Forest blend is one of Israel's finest and most age-worthy wines.
