WINE CATALOG

In 1882, my great grandfather and great grandmother, Michael and

Malka Chamiletzki, first set foot upon the land of Zichron Ya’akov,

after emigrating from Lithuania. Michael had been commissioned by

Baron Edmund de Rothschild to plant vineyards, and from the very

first day, a profound and harmonious relationship between the Tishbi

family and the vineyards was forged. The family settled in nearby

Shefeya, where they immediately set to work cultivating the land and

planting vines - a region which today is surrounded by an abundance

of sprawling vineyards. In 1925, the family hosted the renowned poet

Chaim Nachman Bialik, and in gratitude for the warm hospitality

that he had received, he suggested a new family name for them –

“TISHBI” – an acronym for “resident of Shefaya in Israel”.

My parents Mina and Israel Tishbi, like their parents before them,

also made their living by cultivating grape vines and olives, and by

producing cheese and dairy products made from their own cows . At

the beginning of the 1980’s, the wine industry experienced a serious

crisis, which caused the price of grapes to soar. As a result, no winery

was willing to purchase large quantities of grapes. At that time, the

market was flooded with Muscat grapes, a large proportion of which

was being grown in our family’s vineyards.

Due to this crisis, I decided to leave the “Carmel Mizrachi” co-

operative and establish my own small winery. At the beginning,

the winery was named “Baron Wine Cellars”, to commemorate

Baron Edmund de Rothschild. The name was later changed to the

family name, “TISHBI ESTATE WINERY”. Today, the whole family is

involved in the running of the winery. My wife, Nili manages the

Visitors’ Center & wine shop and my son, Golan, is the winemaker

and my right-hand man. When we decided to establish a distillery,

Golan traveled to Cognac, France in order to learn the “alembic”

process of distillation. This was soon put to the test in the production

of oak-aged brandy at our winery. We are extremely proud to have

been awarded the respected title of the ‘best brandy in the world’ at

the renowned IWSC competition, which takes place in London every

year.

Our eldest son, Michael, is involved in the cultivation of the

vineyards, while our daughter, Oshra, after extensive traveling, has

helped us open the doors to the global market. She also initiated and

established our café and restaurant in the center of Zichron Ya’akov

and developed her own range of food products – “Fine Food by

Oshra Tishbi”. After all – “family is everything”.

The saying “The past is the best prophecy of the

future” symbolizes the traditional-modern perception

according to which the winery operates today.

Although the winery is most definitely a commercial

and modern enterprise, a meticulous eye is always

still kept on the grapes, which are cultivated and

handpicked in our vineyards. The geographic locations

of

our vineyards have been carefully chosen from the

optimal vine-growing regions in the country - from Sde

Boker in the south, to the Golan Heights in the north.

The variations in the different soils and climates are

reflected in each one of our wines, promoting their

individuality. The barrels used for aging many of our

wines are produced from both French and American

oak. The oak wood forests used in the production of

our barrels are carefully selected, in order to determine

the diversity in flavor and aroma that each region has

to offer. This advantage gives our customers the option

to enjoy wines with varied styles and characters.

GOLAN HEIGHTS: KIDMAT ZVI

The volcanic soil of the Golan Heights is ideal for the cultivation of wine grapes, possessing airy

soil and excellent drainage. In addition, the cool summers and cold winters of the Golan Heights,

together with the natural topography, also result in a slow ripening season. Our vineyards on

Kidmat Zvi, where we grow Cabernet Sauvignon, cover an area of approximately seven acres.

With an elevation of 550 meters, this area is now recognized as one of the best wine growing

regions in Israel.

UPPER GALILEE: KEREM BEN ZIMRA

Kerem Ben Zimra, known for its excellent wine cultivation in Israel, is located in a mountainous

region, at an elevation level of 700 meters. This location, with its cold climate, yields grapes

with a particularly intense character. The soil is especially well-suited for the cultivation of wine

grapes, due to the limestone sub-soil. Since temperatures in the vineyard remain low both day

and night, the grapes contain consistently high acidity levels, with the climate also contributing

to a slow ripening process.

Theses grapes are harvested in mid October, and the unique combination of these qualities

produces a potential alcohol content level of 13%.

www.tishbi.com

LOWER GALILEE: KFAR TAVOR

The vineyards on the slopes of the Tavor hillside produce Sauvignon Blanc, French Colombard,

Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The rich, red light soil on which these grapes are

grown has excellent drainage qualities; its airy character is thanks to the rivers that partly cover

this region. Being located on the southern slopes of the Tavor hillside provides the vines with the

optimum amount of sunshine. The grapes grown in this region are designated primarily for the

“Tishbi” series.

THE CARMEL MOUNTAINS: ZICHRON YA’AKOV

Towards the end of the 19th century, the Zichron Ya’akov region was commissioned by Baron

Edmund de Rothschild as an ideal location for the cultivation of high quality vineyards. The

Tishbi family has over ten decades of experience in the cultivation of wine grapes, their vineyards

covering a total of 62 acres (25 hectares), spreading from the slopes of the Carmel Mountains

to only a few kilometers from the Mediterranean coastline. The cool sea breezes alleviate the

summer heat and generate the morning mists, providing extra protection for the vines. The

diverse soil varies from red and black alluvial to white limestone. Each grape variety is grown

according to the conditions that are best-suited for its cultivation. For example, the grapes used in

the award-winning gold medal Chardonnay from the Jonathan Tishbi Special Reserve series are

grown solely on black soil, producing an especially high quality yield – around 700 kilograms to

0.1 hectares without irrigation. Cabernet Sauvignon was planted on the white limestone-based

soil, characterized by providing a limited yield in order to produce the highest quality grapes.

“The past is the best prophecy of the future.”

JUDEAN HILLS

With an elevation of 800-1000 meters, this white limestone soil produces Chardonnay, Viognier,

Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. These grapes

produce the most elegant wines of the Tishbi Winery. This region is characterized by its dry

climate and cool breezes. Summer evenings are cool, even before sunset with the open elevated

vineyards being located towards the west. In the early hours of the morning and the evening, the

temperature drops significantly, this enhancing the growth of grapes. The wines possess cassis

& cranberry aromas and long-lasting, subtle tannins, showing similarities in character to certain

Bordeaux wines (Saint Julienne, Pouillac). Harvesting takes place mid October, often leading

into mid November.

NEGEV DESERT: SDE BOKER

At an elevation of 500 meters, and in a location with a significant historical ambiance, our Sde

Boker vineyards are cultivated on desert soil and enjoy a unique, airy climate. The cultivation

of grapes in this region constitutes the realization of David Ben Gurion’s vision to develop the

wilderness of the Negev.

The Tishbi Estate Winery is proud to announce that

our wines and brandy have been registered with the

Vegan Society.

Since we do not use any animal products as part

of our wine-making process, our wines are now

officially fit for vegans and vegetarians!

Some winemakers make use of gelatin and / or

albumin during the wine-making process in order to

give the wine a more delicate taste and reduce tannins

(phenols) that give it its bitterness and astringency.

From the harvesting stage, we at the winery heed to

a slow, gentle and gradual process that enables us to

regulate and reduce the bitter flavors.

Due to the gentle extraction processes that prevent

needless squeezing, we are able to avoid unnecessary

use of additives

This series is a collection of young and aromatic

wines produced from grapes that were harvested

primarily in the Estate vineyards in the Zichron

Yaacov area. The wines are fitting for everyday

drinking with meals and will bring joy to any palate.

The white wines in the series, being semi-dry and

particularly light, are recommended as an aperitif,

BrutSparkling dry white wine

Varietal: 100% French Colombard Growing Region: Zichron Ya’akov Wine Notes: This sparkling wine is both gentle and elegant. The aromas and flavors are of peach and sunflowers.

Winemaking: This Brut was produced according to the

traditional methods used in the Champagne region of

France. After fermentation and bottling, a second

alcoholic fermentation occurs in the bottle. This second

fermentation process is induced by adding several grams

of yeast and sugar. One day after the beginning of the

fermentation process, we seal the bottles with a crown

cap. After 5 months of lying in a cooled environment, the

wine produces natural carbonation, due to this special

fermentation process.

After ageing, the bottle is manipulated, either manually or

mechanically, in a process called remuage, so that the lees

settle in the neck of the bottle. After chilling the bottles, the

neck is frozen, and the cap is removed. The pressure in the

bottle forces out the ice containing the lees, and the bottle

is then quickly corked to maintain the carbon dioxide.Alcohol by Volume: 12%

I believe that food and wine need to be exciting, whether you are enjoying

quality time alone or when you simply feel like pampering someone else

with an appetizing and special gift.

Wine and food make a perfect pair and, like all couples, each has its own

unique flavor. I invite you to partake in the experience, to taste, and to spoil

your senses.
