Château Golan (Hebrew: יקב שאטו גולן) is an Israeli winery established in 1999, and is one of Israel's most extravagant.[2] It is located in the southern Golan Heights, near the point where the Yarmuk River and wadi Ruqqad meet.
The winemaker is Uri Hetz.[3] The winery features a French-style Château, built from basalt, which is also used for art exhibitions.[4]
The winery grows thirteen grape types, including Bordelaise varietals Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot; Mediterranean varietals of French and Spanish origin: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Petite Syrah, Roussanne, Grenache blanc and Viognier; and the Portuguese varietal Touriga Nacional. Production is about 75,000 bottles annually[1]
