Sea Horse Winery
SeaHorse Winery was founded in the year 2000, in the village of Bar Giyora, located in the Judean Mountains (near Jerusalem), by Orly and Ze’ev Dunie.
Since its establishment, the winery’s intention has been to grow most of the grapes needed for its wines, while studying and exploring grape varieties that are less popular or common in Israel.
The vineyard in Bar Giora is cultivated with organic means, and planted at a higher density than common in Israel, which creates a fruit that is very condensed and rich in flavors.
The winery’s creation process is solely based on creative impulse, while pursuing maximum quality, with minimal intervention of the winemaker.

the capacity for aging.” This philosophy is expressed through his own handcrafted
wines, across his portfolio
