Daniel was born in the US and immigrated to Israel in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in Biology, which led him to continue his medical studies. Upon arrival in Israel he felt a deep connection with the innovative and generous

agriculture in Israel, especially with the beauty of the vineyards. These feelings led him to graduate studies in plant sciences at the Faculty of Agriculture in Rehovot where he investigated the effect of the quantity of grapes on the uniformity and structure of the cluster. After graduation he understood the complexity of growing grapes and the ability to influence wine production in the winery as well. After two years working at Israeli wineries, he continued to study for a master’s degree in winemaking from Cornell University in the US, where he worked in a sensory laboratory that explored taste and smell and studied the philosophy of producing white wine in cool areas. Danny joined the team of winemakers at Teperberg Winery in the summer of 2016. His passion is to create wine by combining the traditional art with today’s innovations.

Zvi’s “wine credo” holds that three major participants are required to make the wine dream come true:

Grapes: Variety and Terroir

Technology: Equipment that helps us actualize the dream – containers, barrels, etc. …

And most importantly –

The human touch: a conglomerate of winemakers and viticulturists that come together to creatively make the dream of top-quality soulful wine a reality and finally being joined by all those sipping the dream
