Take a look behind the scenes at Lotem Winery — one of the only organic wineries in Israel available exclusively in the United States through Israeli Good Wine.

Situated in Galilee with vineyards in the Upper Galilee and biodynamic vineyards in the Golan, Lotem doesn't just take care in the vineyard, but their clean practices extend through the whole life of their winemaking. Grapes after crushing listen to frequency-infusing music during fermentation, barreling, and bottling.

Hear the unique perspective of Yaniv Kimchi, founder of Lotem Winery, on why Lotem is so original and how they became an innovator in the Israeli winemaking scene.
