Flam winery is one of few among the boutique wineries to march to the beat of their own drummer. Having chosen a path of enquiry, gradually identifying a unique personality, it was not an easy road to follow as it did not allow for any shortcuts. In this manner, the ability to produce unique quality wine was discovered based on regional characteristics. As part of this development, The Judean Hills Quartet was initiated

Flam’s vineyards are planted in the the Judean Hills and Upper Galilee, in the best parcels for growing wine grapes. In all our parcels we insist of a very low yield-acre ratio. The variety of soils of our private vineyard, which Golan oversees personally, contributes to the creation of fierce and intense wines that reflect the renewed tradition of Mediterranean winemaking.

The vineyard are planted 730 meters above sea level. The  black volcanic soil  and it’s mostly chilly climate , throughout  the year.  provide a perfect  ripening of the Merlot  vines. which gives its true Israeli merlot characteristic of  red fruit flavours and a pleasant acidity that creates wines with a fantastic ageing potential.
