Upper Galilee in northern Israel at 400–900m elevation; Mount Meron and the Golan Heights provide cool-climate conditions unusual for the Levant. Basalt and limestone soils on the Golan produce some of Israel's finest Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Viognier. Mediterranean climate moderated by altitude; diurnal variation 20°C+. Israel's premier wine-quality region.
