Yatir winery has set itself the goal of emphasizing regional uniqueness in its wines. The winery's pride - "The Yatir character" begins with the high altitude vineyards planted in clay limestone soil, and a dry, cold desert climate at night, creating a very distinct terroir. Eran Goldwasser, Yatir's chief winemaker, is committed to the highest quality - from the selection process and cultivation of the wine grapes, to the harvest, fermentation, aging and bottling process - all complemented by the latest technology and equipment. The first Yatir wine was created in 2001. The winery portfolio now carries three blends: Yatir Forest, the winery's flagship wine, Yatir Creek and Mt. Amasa, in addition to two varietal wines (Syrah & Petit Verdot) and Rosé.
