Tulip Winery opened in 2003, went kosher in 2010, and has since doubled its yearly output, currently producing 220,000 bottles per year. Located in Kfar Tikvah, overlooking the Jezreel Valley, the winery helps support locals with special needs, and went through an arduous process to create a system that would be approved by Rabbonim while still providing opportunities for these locals. This winery brings a lot of heart to the table with wines that are produced with a strong sense of responsibility to the wine drinkers, as well as to the community that helps produce it.
Tulip
Driven by the desire to produce top quality wines at competitive prices and giving back to the community, Tulip has become one of Israel’s elite wineries with a portfolio of unique, bold and out of the box wines that have gained international recognition through awards and wine critics alike.
Black Tulip
This full bodied blend of Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon features a deep ruby color with bursts of currant, vanilla and well rounded tannins.
Espero
A blend of Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Franc, this wine has the perfect balance of dark fruit flavors, notes of spice and cocoa, and a jammy, long texture.
Cabernet Sauvignon
This 100% Cab reflects the winemaker’s desire to combine grapes from several of Tulip’s premium vineyards, resulting in a rich and complex wine that offers notes of dark berries, dry herbs and vanilla followed by a long and powerful finish.
White Tulip
An incredible and unique blend of Gewurztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc, this white wine showcases the characteristics of both grapes - the fruity and delicately spicy aromas from the Gewurztraminer along with the grapefruit, pear and lychee aromas from the Sauvignon Blanc.
