Can anyone confirm that Asif Winery has closed and that winemaker Yaakov Orya has moved on to Midbar Winery?
Has anyone heard of this winery or tasted their wines?

Pierre Miodownick founded Domaine Netofa with a strong belief that Israel's weather and geographic location fit more varieties such as Syrah, Mourverdre, Tempranillo, Tinta Cao and Chenin Blanc but that leaded him to create wines very similar in taste and character like Cotes du Rhone, so again it's hard to say that an Israeli "wine identity" was achieved there.

However from a different point of view, why would some 'normal' wine lover buy a Netofa and not a real Cotes du Rhone or a Douro instead?
