In 1882, the first Israeli pioneers turned to Baron Edmond de Rothschild to seek his help; after all, times were tough... Baron Edmond de Rothschild was known at this time as the 'benevolent supplier', known as the owner of the world-famous Chateau Lafite Winery in Bordeaux.
Representatives of the baron sent to Israel to assess growing conditions returned with positive reports that the climate in Israel was similar to Bordeaux and recommended planting vineyards for wine production.
