Psagot Yakir

A single vineyard varietal wine made from 100% Syrah grapes, grown in the Binyamin region at an elevation of approximately 900 meters above sea level. Aged 14 months in new French oak barrels, this wine reveals a rich tapestry of dark fruits—raspberry and blueberry—harmoniously interwoven with subtle oak spice. Elegant, deep, and well-balanced, Psagot Yakir expresses the unique character of the terroir in which its grapes were grown. Full-bodied, with a long and unforgettable finish…

Psagot Yakir was created in honor and memory of Yakir Hexter z”l (1997–2024), who gave his life defending his people and his land in battle against Hamas in Gaza. Yakir, the son of Josh Hexter—Psagot Winery’s first winemaker—lived life with passion, vitality, and an inspiring balance between structure and spirited enthusiasm. An architecture student, a talented bartender, a passionate athlete, he brought joy and warmth to everyone fortunate enough to know him.

This wine reflects Yakir’s spirit—a deep connection between love, family, and heritage. His memory lives on in our hearts and every sip.
