Gamla Kosher
Golan Heights kosher wine, poured in Commack for three decades.
The story behind Gamla
Gamla comes from the Golan Heights Winery, founded in 1983 when eight Israeli settlements pooled their resources on volcanic soil high above the Galilee. The name honors an ancient Jewish city on a Golan hill that held out against Rome, and the labels carry a coin struck in its memory. The line sits mid-tier by design: French varietals, twelve months in French oak with a touch of American for the reds, and strict kosher handling from crush to bottle by Sabbath-observant staff.
We have stocked Gamla through every vintage cycle since the early days, and the Cabernet has never needed an apology. The parent winery took Wine Enthusiast New World Winery of the Year in 2012.
