Bin Nun Barrel Reserve Deep Purple

The village of Bin-Nun in the Ayalon Valley, which belongs to the Gezer Regional Council, was established in 1952 in an area rich with a Jewish history from more than 1000 years B.C. The original entrance to the village was an ancient Roman road, which connected the King’s Road from the Jerusalem mountains area to the seacoast road. This road passed near the hill next to the Bin-nun winery, where two ancient winepresses were discovered. One of the winepresses was identified with the help of experts as a simple winepress model of a grape-treading surface from the First Temple period (960 B.C.). The second one is a unique ancient winepress factory, which believed to be from the Second Temple period (about 500 B.C.) and used a technique of wooden beam winepress. At a short distance from the ancient winepress, a Mikveh for ritual purity was found, and it is estimated as a Jewish Mikveh from the Hasmonean dynasty period (140 B.C. – 63 B.C.). In 2012, after some experience of wine production on a small scale, we decided to establish a winery to create quality boutique wines.

The secret of the wine’s magic, complexity, and fascinating taste lies primarily in the deep involvement of the winemaker in growing the vines in the vineyard and the close personal supervision of the wine-production processes in the winery, but first and foremost, a good team that works together and in harmony with the wine-growing team. We love to learn every day new insights, thus we have formed a team of professional consultants (winemakers, winemakers and winery managers) at the highest level to accumulate and harvest their vast knowledge and experience. Together, we are all having a fascinating journey that integrates wine growing, developing the unique characteristics of our terroir with the state of the art wine processes and technics to create the best aromas, flavours, color and body.
