Cremisan Winery – Dabouki Beit Jala 2024
Dabouki Beit Jala 2024 — Cremisan Winery
In the Shaffa valley on the road to Hebron, families from Beit Jala have tended their vines for generations. Cremisan Winery's winemaker Fadi Batarseh works directly with these families to source the indigenous Dabouki grape — a variety that might otherwise disappear. Every bottle is an act of preservation, and a direct investment in the local community of Beit Jala.
Semi-aromatic and beautifully fruity, the Dabouki is a wine that rewards those curious enough to venture beyond the familiar. Soft, juicy, and deeply expressive of its Palestinian terroir.
Tasting Notes
- Yellow peach and apricot — soft, ripe orchard fruit on the nose
- Honeydew melon and fresh camomile adding extra intensity
- Juicy, soft texture on the palate
- Gentle, chalky minerality that lingers on the finish
The Grape
Dabouki is a native Palestinian grape variety, cultivated here from family-owned vineyards in the Shaffa valley, Bethlehem region. Fadi Batarseh's commitment to indigenous varieties keeps this ancient heritage alive.
