Producer Information

Domaine du Castel is a small family-owned winery located in the Judean Hills near Jerusalem. It was first planted in 1988 and released its first Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wines in 1992. It is regarded as one of the best producers in the country.Founder Eli Ben Zaken did not plan to produce more than this 1992 vintage. Just two barrels or 600 bottles were made, meant mainly for friends. But after positive feedback, more vineyards were planted and a winery built.Today more than 100,000 bottles per year are produced. About half of this is exported. Eli remains as winemaker alongside son Eytan. Daughter Ilana is in charge of exports and procurement, while another son Ariel, is CEO.
