Carmel Wineries - Societe Cooperative Vigneronne des Grandes Caves Richon le Zion & Zichron Jacob Ltd.

Israel

Established in 1882 by Baron Edmond de Rothschild, Carmel's beginnings coincided with the revival of Jewish settlement in Palestine. In 1906, the management of the wineries was deeded over to the wine growers by the renowned benefactor, forming the Societe Cooperative Vigneronne des Grandes Caves Richon le Zion & Zichron Jacob Ltd. The Rothschild family maintained ownership of the wine cellars until 1957.

Today, Carmel is among the world's noted wine producers, with its wines and spirits sold in North America, Europe (including traditional wine growing markets such as France and Germany), Scandinavia, Japan, the Far East, Australia, Russia and the Ukraine. Its annual output is over 3.0 million cases
