Smadar vines

 

Grow in Ein Toot valley

on the north slopes of Zichron Ya'akov

The Shapira family work this land

for over a century

 Ein Toot valley is surrounded by mountains

closing in and ensuring pleasant days

and low night temperatures

The low crops provides high quality 

Get up in the dark

wear working shoes

and go down to the vineyard

    Cool

Scatter boxes along the row

drink coffee

and wait for first light

    Quiet

Kneel beside the vine

put a hand under the bunch

and pick

    Happiness

Drive along the row

load the boxes on the wagon

and go up home to Zichron

to the winery

     Harvest
