Set near Zichron Yaacov, at the foot of the Carmel mountain ridge near the coast, the Tishbi Estate is surrounded by its home vineyards which enjoy the cooling breezes of the Mediterranean Sea. The Tishbi family also plants, grows and harvests premium grapes at higher elevations to the North, to take full advantage of the cool mountain night air and the long sunny Mediterranean growing season, and in the Negev Desert to the South, where hot arid days and cool windy nights combine with sandy soils to yield superior grapes.
To this day, proprietor Jonathan Tishbi, together with his family, personally supervises the growing, harvesting and bottling processes, tasting and evaluating each vineyard lot separately before creating final blends and award winning wines. This premium label is made from the best grapes of Tishbi’s home vineyards, blended with selected lots of Tishbi’s high altitude "Reserve" vineyards for exceptional consistency and distinctive style.
