Wineries
Between vineyards and fields, in the Valley of Elah, Moshav Agur has a family boutique winery located in the vineyard and managed by Heinz and Leah Metler. Heinz - immigrated from Switzerland about 30 years ago and currently leads the winery.
The harvest is done at night, when the temperatures are low, picking manually.
The grapes are taken to the winery for fermentation without the need for lengthy travel because the winery is located in the vineyard.
After the fermentation, the wine passes to wooden barrels for a period of between 12-15 months. After that, it goes to the bottles for the additional aging of several months until distributed.
