Tzora Vineyards, Israel

About Tzora Vineyards

Tzora Vineyards is an estate winery producing wines solely from grapes grown in its own vineyards. These wines express the quality and character of the vineyards in the Judean Hills.

The production is 8000 cases a year, of which about 75% is allocated to Israel, and the rest is allocated for export - mainly to the USA (Skurnik Wines), UK (32-34 wines), Japan (Mottox), Netherlands (Well of Wine), Germany (Lobenberg Gute-Weine).

For Singapore, Wines & Vines Cellars is proud to bring you the wines from this premium vineyard.

 

The Vineyards

The Judean Hills rise sharply from the coastal plain, and exhibit ideal conditions for growing wine grapes. Man-made terraces cling to this rugged area in a multitude of directions as they follow the contours of the steep slopes. Cold winters, sharp temperature drop during the short summer nights and early morning summer mists, as well as variations in soils from rocky limestone outcrops to ones rich in minerals, all contribute to the character, the balance and the great longevity of the wines.

 

The Team

The small team from Tzora Vineyard shares a deep and profound love of fine wine. This passion drives us as much in the vineyards as in the wine cellar.

Eran Pick MW

WINEMAKER & GENERAL MANAGER

 

I vividly remember the moment I fell in love with wine. During a vacation in Germany, a friend suggested we visit a small winery in the Mosel. At the winery we were offered a TBA from the 60s. When the wine was poured into the glasses, the wonderful flowery aromas filled the entire room. A true love from the first sight.

Eran Pick completed his B.S degree in Viticulture and Enology with Highest Honors at the University of California, Davis. He is a Master of Wine since 2016. Pick joined Tzora Vineyards’ team in 2006, following a few training periods at wineries in Napa, Sonoma, Barossa and Bordeaux.

 

Dor James

VINEYARD MANAGER

I obtain my inspiration from the magnificent vineyards and the nature reserves which surround them.

Dor James is a part of the winery’s team since its establishment in 1993, and has been serving as the Vineyard Manager since 2005. His ambition is to capture and enhance the superb quality of the grapes. As an apprentice to Ronnie James, he is a true believer in the concept of terroir.

 

Jean-Claude Berrouet

CONSULTANT

My idea is that together with Tzora Vineyards we wish to develop a wine that tells a sincere, authentic story of the local soil and climate through people who share their passion, ability and experience
