Pelter Winery is an Israeli winery established in 2005 by Tal Pelter. Headquartered in Tzofit, the winery itself is located in Ein Zivan, a Kibbutz on the Golan Heights
History
After initially producing 4000 bottles from grapes grown in the family farm in Tzofit in 2002, the Pelters selected the Golan heights as the site for their winery, due to the favorable terroir: a cold dry climate, large temperature swings between day and night temperature, basalt soil, high altitude, and high levels of sun radiation. The Golan-based winery was established in 2005, and its 2009 vintage produced 80,000 bottles.
Pelter sources half its grapes from the northern Golan, and the rest from vineyards in the Jerusalem hills and the mountains of the Upper Galilee. It produces wines of several varietals, including Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as Methode traditionelle sparkling wines, using Chardonnay grapes.
