Barkan was founded in 1990 by Yair Lerner and Shmuel Boxer, who prioritized modernization and vineyard planting to produce high-quality wine and expand the company. Today, Barkan sources grapes from top regions in Israel, including the Golan Heights, Upper Galilee, and Jerusalem mountains. With a 50,000 square meter facility, the winery features a 12 million liter tank farm, automated crushing and fermentation plant, and air-conditioned storage building. As Israel's second-largest winery, Barkan processes over 8,000 tons of grapes annually, dedicating itself to ensuring the best possible fruit quality from harvest to sales.

Producing a fine Pinot Noir requires an exact balance of warm days and cool nights. Barkan found this balance in their vineyard at Mitzpah Ramon in the high desert. The wine is marked by soft, yet palpable tannin, with a fresh almost strawberry aroma with hints of black cherries and mint. Barkan Pinot Noir's medium body and crisp finish goes well with grilled salmon or veal, and is best served at a cool room temperature.
