Maia

Galilee wines built on Rhône and Mediterranean varieties, rated by major critics.

Maia produces wines from Israel's Galilee region, where Mediterranean warmth and elevation create conditions for ripe, structured fruit. The winery's Mare White draws on Marsanne, the Rhône variety prized for its weight and textural complexity. Mare Red blends Carignan, Shiraz, and Mourvèdre—a combination that marries the herbal grip of Carignan with the dark fruit and spice of Syrah and the earthy structure of Mourvèdre. Mare Pink, built from Mourvèdre and Carignan, sits between these poles. The wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate and Decanter, reflecting their place in the broader conversation around Israeli viticulture. Galilee's cool nights and volcanic soils support the kind of balance that rewards both immediate pleasure and cellaring.
