The Gush Etzion Winery
In 1966, viniculture and wine making were renewed in Gush Etzion. Approximately 400 dunam were planted from the varietals Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdu, Sira, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Gewurtztraminer, White Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Viyogne, and recently Mourvedre and Rousson. Wine production was renewed in 1998 when Shraga Rosenberger initiated his wine project, producing approximately 2000 bottles in his house in Efrat. In 2005, in the midst of the vineyards at the Gush Etzion Junction, a modern winery capable of producing 50,000 bottles was built. The Winery includes a visitors' center and restaurant that look out over the vineyards that produce its wines. 
In 2005 a modern winery was built amongst the vineyards at Gush Etzion Junction, with the capability of producing 50,000 bottles. The Winery includes a visitors' center and a dairy restaurant that overlook the area that produces its wines. 
The winery produces three lines of red and white wines. The basic line is Nahal Hapirin, a blend of reds in the Bordeux style, aged for a year in wooden casks. The Nahal Hapirin white is a blend of white wines. The mid-range line, and its most recent wine, Alon Haboded, ( Lone Oak) commemorating the symbol of Gush Etzion, is a line of the winery's varietals beginning with 2009 Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurtztraminer, White Riesling, and including 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Sira. The wines will be available in the Boston New England area from late August 2010.
