@philbowell I became confused when saw the picture... “gamla” means “old” in Swedish so the logo matched but not much else.
@jemostrom ha! Galilee is an old region I suppose… not sure what Gamla means in Hebrew, something a long the lines of benefit I believe. I visited the vineyard last time I was in Israel, so couldn’t resist buying a bottle when I saw it on sale here in the UK.
@philbowell after saying gamla meant beauty, I couldn't help but think I was wrong...SO, after a wee little bit of digging I've found that Gamla is a place! And, according to the winery's website,
"Gamla" is the name of an ancient Israeli town on the Golan, which withstood the conquering Romans for a number of years. Recent excavations represented by the coin on the label, tell an exciting and heroic story.
@eli interesting stuff. Not sure why I didn’t look on the website for info… now I want to visit again and go see the excavations.
