Mount Hermon Indigo

An approachable red wine from the Golan Heights — robust enough for the barbecue, lively enough for everyday use.

Golan Heights Winery is one of Israel's most renowned wineries. The vineyards at the foot of Mount Hermon lie at altitudes of up to 1,200 meters—the cool climate slows down ripening, preserves acidity, and imparts more freshness than one would expect from a red wine from this region. The Mount Hermon Indigo is the winery's approachable line: simply vinified and intended for early drinking.

In the glass, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah displays aromas of black cherry and ripe plum, with hints of tobacco and Mediterranean herbs in the background. Medium-bodied, with soft tannins and a good balance between fruit and spice. Not a wine for long aging—but one that's enjoyable right now.

Drinking recommendation: Now until 2026. Serving temperature 16–18 °C. Pairs well with grilled lamb, köfte, shakshuka with feta or a spicy lentil stew.
