Our Story
Organic Winery on Mt. Carmel
Vortman Winery began its journey in 2003 in Haifa. In the early years winemaking took place in the home cellar. As production grew, we built a modern winery in Haifa. From the beginning, our intention was to produce wines from organic grapes grown exclusively in the Carmel region. The winery is run by a small team who carry out all work.
Unique wine region
The roots of Vortman Winery are well planted in Mt. Carmel soil, where wine has been grown for more than 3,000 years. Many wine presses carved in the limestone bedrock can be still seen.
Shfeya Valley is a unique sub-area in the Carmel region in terms of geological richness and weather conditions. For these reasons, we chose to plant all our vineyards there.
Winemaking
Our winemaking combines traditional and modern methods. Fermentation is done in small open containers, manual mixing and the use of a basket press.
The winery has a wine lab that allows us to accurately monitor the production processes and the aging of wines.
All our wines made according to organic and vegan standards.
