The combination of low yields and pruning during all stages of growth, along with the hot summer climate and humid conditions typical of the area, produce intense flavors and aromas in the grapes and wine. The vineyard and the winery the wines "Nahal Gubrin" is a blend of Pinotage and Syrah grapes. The Pinotage variety has proven to be a promising success in the region.

A bit of history… The winery is located in a land formerly known as "Fields of Palestine". It was formerly a buffer zone between Judea and Palestine, where Jews and Philistines lived in the city of Erububia alternately during the ancient period. According to the researchers, Tel Tzfit is the biblical city of Gath, where King David fled, behaving like a madman before Acish the king of Gath.. These days, archaeological excavations in the area of Moshav Zarhia where the winery operates (about 200 meters from the winery's gates) have revealed the remains of an ancient settlement which, according to the findings, dates back to the Byzantine period in the 7th century AD. Moshav Zarhia has an impressive wine cellar measuring approximately 15x15 meters with a mosaic floor and a system for dripping and pooling liquids..
