Bar Maor winery, Binyamina
Tasted Friday, April 25, 2014 by Yagil with 472 views
Introduction
The winery moved to this small industrial zone only recently
Rami seems to vinify wine that is like an 'old-world' wine: no irrigation, natural herbs in the vineyard etc.

Closing
Even-though it's a young winery, the wines are impressing and of good quality.
Merit a close watch on the development of this winery.
