A semi-aromatic white grape variety with small grapes and clusters, which got its name, meaning “well” in Hebrew, after it was found growing in an ancient well at Palmachim Beach. Barkan was the first winery to come out with a wine produced from this grape, and since 2021 they have been producing a Be’er wine as part of their Beta series. “This is a wonderful wine grape variety, we are very satisfied with it and are looking forward to seeing what else the variety can yield in the future,” said Ido Lewinsohn, the winery’s chief winemaker. Both Levinson and Drori are very excited about Be’er and its potential. In addition to its organoleptic properties (regarding its flavor and smell), it is also resistant to grape wilt — a fungal vine disease.
