A family winery founded by Dr. Yair Margalit Ph.D., a physical chemistry researcher and international expert in wine technology and chemistry. Since its first commercial harvest in 1989 Margalit has been at the forefront of Israel's wine scene. Yair's son Assaf worked at the winery since childhood, and after military service studied agriculture at the Faculty of Agriculture in Rehovot, and later on in the USA, before returning to join the family business. In 2013 the winery relocated to its current location in Binyamina.
