On the slopes of the Judean Mountains, of the Holy Land,  under the mantle of a wonderful terroir, lies Mony Estate Winery. The winery was founded by Shakib Artoul, the father of the family and an olive merchant, who came to this magical area from Maghar, a village in the Lower Galilee. 

The olive merchant fell in love with the area, and decided to lease agricultural land and plant vines. Why vines? Because of the unique terroir of the hills above Sorek Valley. 

Shakib Artoul recognized the potential of the quality of the grapes that the vineyards would yield, and established the winery in 2001. For over two decades it has been clear to everyone, how right he was. Today, about 1ha of vines are planted on the hills around the winery, yielding grapes of wonderful quality.
