Golan Heights

Golan Heights is a Israel wine-geography entry for the Galilee context, useful for readers who see an emerging, historic, protected, or regional origin name on a label rather than a familiar European appellation. Its practical identity is: High volcanic plateau used in Israeli wine-label geography as a Galilee subregion, known for Cabernet, Syrah, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. Typical grapes include Cabernet Sauvignon; Syrah; Merlot; Chardonnay; Sauvignon Blanc. The wines are commonly structured reds with dark fruit, mint, and spice; focused whites with citrus, apple, and mineral tension. The growing setting is elevated volcanic plateau with basaltic soils, snowy winters in high sites, dry summers, and strong diurnal shifts. This entry is written as reference-encyclopedia geography: it explains place, grapes, style, and label context without ranking estates, implying certification value, or becoming a buying list.
