Recanati, Yasmin Red, Galilee, Israel 2022

Recanati Winery was established in 2000 by Lenny Recanati and Uri Shaked. Their aim was to create a new winery which would produce original, quality Israeli wine. The winery’s philosophy is to produce local and original wines, wines that will best express the local terroir.

The wine production process is led by chief winemaker Kobi Arviv, who began his career in the winery in 2006. Arviv, a talented and original winemaker, believes in matching Mediterranean varieties to the Israeli climate. The winery has vineyards in the best growing areas in the country, and is very particular about growing unique Mediterranean varieties such as Petite Sirah, Marselan and Carignan and local varieties (Marawi), while simultaneously nurturing classic international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and others.

The winery is proud of its unprecedented achievements in recent years, both locally and internationally. However, they are not resting on their laurels and continue to cultivate new vineyards, conduct research in agriculture and wine, and – most importantly – they produce wine with great passion and a constant drive to improve and give maximum expression to the wonderful Israeli terroir at their disposal.
