In the mid-seventies, Italian winemakers were invited to Jordan, at the request of, Nasri and Samir Haddad to design and ultimately bring to life, the first state of the art winery in Jo
rdan.

At the turn of the century, the Haddad family, now expert vintners and wine trendsetters, brought to life the modern wine-making and oenology, a new phase of Jordanian wine making.
2004
For the first time in Jordan’s history, the very best Italian, Spanish and French varietal vines were planted on a large scale (1’200’000 sqm). The rich Jordanian soil soon gave birth to unique flavors to varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

A new line of JORDAN RIVER wines is launched. Wines from 2004 vintage aged under special circumstances in the desert cellar, are released for the world to enjoy.
