Judeka

Judeka was born in 2007 from the initiative of a group of young Sicilian entrepreneurs. Initially, the company was set up as a simple structure. It transitioned with the acquisition of the first farmlands, followed by grapevines planting and soon after the winery was constructed. The company story is unique, starting from nothing but perseverance, passion, and
research of young wine neophytes.They have worked on a rich but arduous land that is Sicily to successfully fulfill their own dream “Judeka”. Irrefutably, any exposure to such a magical land inspires hope for all young Sicilians like Judeka young group of entrepreneurs.

Today it is imperative that we hand down a better world to our children. One of our main objectives is the respect for nature and the consumer. Consequently, we have decided to equip our winery with state-of-the-art technologies. So, by utilizing some basic principles of physics, we are able to process grapes with the utmost respect for their composition. The aforementioned technologies also allow us to bring out the grapes variety and territory features while minimizing, sometimes even eliminating, the use of chemicals.Undoubtedly, vine training systems and winery technologies combined with oenological expertise are essential to the production of excellent quality wines. We are convinced that the renewable energy and waste treatment programs we use set us apart from the conventional vine-growing and winemaking techniques. The impact of the manufacturing process on the environment, even if not perceived by the final consumer, motivates us to make wine in perfect harmony with nature. For this reason, Judea is equipped with a 130 kW photovoltaic system to cover its energy demands, a solar thermal power plant for hot-water supply, and an artificial wetland system to treat industrial and domestic wastewater. The water produced by the latter is used to irrigate the vegetation. Lastly, the ground water is treated and made drinkable through reverse osmosis. The same attention is paid to our vineyard cultivation which is strictly organic.
