The Khreish family named their winery after the Roman village, Jascala (al-Jish.).
The wines of Jascala are as full of personality as its two founders, Richard, the winemaker, and his brother, Nasr, who looks after the vineyards.
Located in the Upper Galilee where all their grapes come from, the vineyards are planted on Jabal Jarmaq with Terra Rossa soils on the bedrock of limestone and 33 dunams of land at altitudes from 846 —776 meters above sea level.
The excellent aeration renders any humidity-related problems, like fungus, virtually non-existent. Some vineyard terraces have up to four different grape varieties planted. There is no use of herbicides or insecticides and all the harvest is handpicked.
This is an exceptional Sauvignon Blanc with ripe fruit character, greengages green papaya and zesty, lemony finish.
