Nevo Winery Moshav Mata

The wine is poured into the clear wine glass and fills the room with a delicate aroma. Its color is a deep and clear bourdeaux and its flavor rolls on the tongue enjoyably. This is a special wine that is being produced at the Nevo Boutique Winery, in a rural atmosphere at moshav Mata which is in the mountains of Jerusalem. Before the wine is poured into your glass it goes through a fascinating journey. Its origin is in the juicy grapes that grow in the vineyard in moshav Mata with the help of an experienced and known vine-grower in an ideal area in respect to the weather that combines a warm sun, a soil that is rich in minerals and a suitable quantity of precipitation. The Neo Winery started as a surprising family story- Nevo and his partner in life Iris have invited their relative who got sick to live with them at their home, and have started, together with her, to produce wine from the grapes of the area.

After a long process the aunt got better and Nevo decided that the dealing with wine out of love and joy has helped in her recovery and also gave him a new meaning to his life. He started to run the business, studied the topic seriously, and today he has a successful family business here which produces wine with a personal touch in limited quantities of bottles in order to maintain the quality and taste. The wine is matured in French oak barrels and goes through several filterings. During the harvest of 2007, Nevo produced dry red wines which were given the names of the ancient Jewish High Priest’s breastplate stones which are mentioned in the Bible (such as Shvo, Hoshen and Sapphire). Today this place also includes a visitor center where tours and tastings of wine, special cheeses and outdoor stove baked breads take place. The Nevo Winery already has those that are "hooked” on it who come back here again and again to purchase and enjoy its quality wines that are produced so intimately and professionally.
