comments on Sphera wines in general 
"Every time you think there is an easy logic to Israeli wine, you bump into a striking exception. For example, reds dominate wine production, but Doron Rav Hon’s Sphera winery, just southwest of Jerusalem and founded in 2012, only produces dry whites. Theoretically, elegant and aromatic dry whites are the toughest call in this warm Mediterranean climate, but we were very impressed by Rav Hon’s wines from the chardonnay, chenin blanc, riesling, sauvignon blanc and semillon grapes. Through the precise choice of vineyard location and attributes – a valley floor where cold air collects at night, with deep soil and the precise use of irrigation – he cracked it.

If Israeli winemakers have anything in common, it is this spirit of innovation."
