Psagot (Template:Lang-he-n, lit. Peaks) is a communal Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located near Ramallah, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 1,100.
Psagot was established in 1981 by a gar'in of residents of the Jerusalem neighbourhood of Beit VeGan. Psagot is illegal under international law.
Psagot winery was founded by Na’ama and Ya’akov Berg, who planted vineyards in 1998. In addition to a modern barrel cellar, some of the oak barriques are stored in a cave dating back to the Second Temple. The winery’s top wine is a Bordeaux blend named Edom. Regular varietal wines are produced in the Psagot series and there is also a Port-style wine. In 2007 and 2008, the winery produced 65,000 bottles annually.
