Margalit

Single-vineyard Israeli wines from Galilee's cool-climate terroir.

Margalit produces wines from Galilee, Israel's premier cool-climate region. The winery focuses on single-vineyard expressions that capture the terroir of distinct sites. Kadita Cabernet Sauvignon, rated 91.7 by prestige critics including Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate, anchors the portfolio with the structure and depth characteristic of the varietal. The Kadita Merlot (88.5) offers a softer counterpoint, while Zichron's Paradigma GSM blend (90.0)—a Grenache, Shiraz, and Mourvèdre combination—reflects the Mediterranean varieties that thrive in Galilee's conditions. Wine Enthusiast has also assessed the range. Each wine is rooted in specific vineyard sites, emphasizing the distinction between parcels rather than a house style. The result is a collection that speaks to place and varietal expression, anchored in the volcanic and limestone soils of northern Israel.
