Description
The Jerusalem Hills Merlot is a full-bodied, approachable red wine from the Judean Hills in Israel. The vineyards are located at high altitudes, where warm days and cool nights ensure slow ripening of the grapes. This allows the Merlot to develop plenty of fruit, a beautiful freshness, and a soft structure. This kosher wine is an excellent choice for both everyday use and a festive dinner.
Dark cherries, plums, berries, and a hint of leather
In the glass, this wine has a deep garnet red color. The aroma is rich and inviting with notes of dark cherries, ripe plums, and blackcurrants, complemented by subtle hints of leather and spices. The taste is smooth and round, with ripe dark fruit, soft tannins, and a long, elegant finish where the fruity aromas beautifully reappear.
Modern vinification for a fruity and soft style
The Merlot grapes are carefully selected from high-altitude vineyards in the Judean Hills. After temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine matures in a way that optimally preserves its fruity character, while creating sufficient structure for a beautiful balance between freshness and softness. This makes the wine immediately accessible, but also able to be stored for several years.
Perfect with red meat, poultry, and pasta
This Merlot is a versatile accompaniment to grilled beef, pâté, turkey, free-range chicken, pizza, pasta with meat sauce, seasoned minced meat dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Its soft character also comes into its own wonderfully with a cozy charcuterie board.
