Blackcurrants, cherries, blackberries, and liquorice
In the glass, this wine has a deep garnet red color. The aroma is rich and fruity with notes of blackcurrants, ripe cherries, and blackberries, complemented by spicy notes of bay leaf, liquorice, and a hint of spices. The taste is full and smooth, with ripe dark fruit, soft tannins, and a long, elegant finish that invites the next sip.
Israeli blend with the unique Argaman grape
This wine is made from Merlot and Argaman, a grape variety specifically developed in Israel from Carignan and Sousão. Argaman provides deep color, extra fruit intensity, and spiciness, while Merlot adds softness and roundness. The wine is vinified using modern techniques to optimally preserve its fresh fruit and smooth style.

Let customers speak for us
We hebben hemmin Maastricht leren kennen en laten hem niet meer los. Een volle wijn die in balans is. We proeven zachte tonen van abrikoos en perzik maar ook de frisheid van citrus. Het beetje aards, mineralig maakt hem
Interessant.
Wij vinden hem erg lekker bij een risotto met zeevruchten.
Goede service, maar onze intercommen liggen eruit dus de bezorger kon niet bellen, toen de dichtstbijzijnde afleveradres Lidl,
Maar hele klus om zware doos te vervoeren, daarom maar een winkelwagen meegenomen.
Very tasty kosher wine, exactly my taste. Fast delivery, would definitely order again!
Een heerlijk zoete rode wijn uit Israël voor Avondmaalsvieringen. Ook lekker voor mensen die nooit drinken
Zie boven.
Het is heerlijke koshere druivensap voor Shabbat.
Habe jetzt das 2te mal hier bestellt und es lief wie beim ersten Mal alles super, danke
Schnelle Lieferung, sicher verpackt, rundum ein zuverlässiger Händler!
Empfehle ich gerne weiter.
wel even lucht geven en niet al te koud drinken. heerlijk bij de dis of tapas, maar voor zomaar ook heerlijk.
Kan bij bijna alles, maar is los ook erg lekker. (en met een zak chips -hoe oneerbieding - ook zo op) ;-)
Wel even een beetje lucht geven (goede decateren - kan een beetje droesem hebben), deze wijn is in het begin wat verlegen, maar met een beetje aanmoediging een echte gangmaker.
