Matar

Matar operates in the Judean Hills near Jerusalem, where elevation and limestone soils shape wines of mineral precision. The winery's Chardonnay expresses the region's cool-climate character through structure and restraint. Cumulus, a Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, anchors the portfolio with the complexity that comes from blending. Stratus, built on Shiraz, captures the darker fruit and spice that the region's terroir can deliver. Wine Spectator has rated across the range, recognizing the technical consistency of these offerings. The winery's work reflects the Judean Hills' emergence as a serious source for age-worthy reds and refined whites.
