Dalton
Dalton produces wines from Galilee, Israel's northernmost wine region, where cool mountain elevations and Mediterranean influence shape the character of the vineyard. The winery's portfolio centers on Bordeaux varieties and their blends. Matatia, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, represents the winery's top expression. The Family Collection Cabernet Sauvignon offers a single-varietal focus on the region's signature grape, while Canaan Red blends Merlot, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon into a structured red. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Decanter, and Wine Enthusiast, reflecting the winery's place within Israel's quality wine landscape. Galilee's terroir—marked by volcanic soils and diurnal temperature swings—supports the ripening and complexity these Bordeaux-style wines demand.
