Key facts

Type: Wine region
Area: 347,419 ha registered outline
Centre: 32.8389° N, 35.3811° E
Legal basis: Israel's five wine regions have no published admin-unit definition. Outlines follow Israeli districts inside the pre-1967 lines; the Golan Heights and the West Bank are not drawn.

Outline: Built from the administrative units that contain the area. The legal boundary follows other lines (roads, rivers, farms or altitude), so the real area is smaller.
