Yarden Merlot

14 months the Yarden Merlot was aged in French oak barrels. The nose is wonderfully complex, the wine offers aromas of dark fruits, herbs de Provence, bay leaves and green olives. Then there are the subtle hints of oak.

On the palate the 100% Merlot is full-bodied. The red wine is powerful and dense, yet remarkably elegant and balanced. The silver medal at the international competition Mundus Vini 2014 is only one of many hints for the quality of this wine.

Enjoy the Yarden Merlot to lamb or roast beef.

Golan Heights Winery

Auf den Golanhöhen in Israel entstehen feine, moderne, sortenreine Weine wie auch ausgezeichnete Blends. Die Golan Heights Winery wurde im Jahr 1983 in der kleinen Stadt Katzrin gegründet und hat sich dank vieler internationaler Auszeichnungen mittlerweile einen guten Namen in der Weinwelt gemacht. So erhielt der Yarden Merlot der Kellerei die Silbermedaille beim internationalen Wettbewerb Mundus Vini 2014.

Die Golan Heights Winery umfasst 15 Weinberge, die allesamt nördlich des See Genezareth in Höhenlagen von 400 bis 1100 Meter über dem Meer liegen. Die Anbaufläche umfasst zusammen etwa 600 Hektar. Der vulkanische Basaltboden ist ideal, um hochwertige Trauben zu erzeugen. Die schwierigen klimatischen Bedingungen erfordern allerdings ein hohes Maß an Sorgfalt, um als Ergebnis zu den wunderbaren Fruchtaromen der Yarden-Weine von Golan Heights Winery zu gelangen. Die Weinherstellung erfolgt über moderne und computergestützte Anlagen. Kellermeister von Golan ist Victor Schoenfeld, der selbst Weinbau in Kalifornien studierte.

International ist die Golan Heights Winery inzwischen ein Begriff. Die Kellerei exportiert mittlerweile etwa 20% ihrer Weine in über 25 Länder weltweit.

Delheim Merlot
The grapes for the Delheim Merlot come from vines that are almost 20 years old, located in the Peperboom vineyard. The ‘Peperboom’ (‘pepper plant’ in English) was originally cultivated here. The harvest was carried out in a two-step selection in order to achieve the maximum concentration of tannins and colour. The wine was fermented with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks at temperatures between 77° and 82.4° F. Subsequently, the wine remained in contact with the skins for another 18 days and then aged for 15 months in French oak casks, of which 20% were new barrels. Its bouquet offers noticeable aromas of tobacco, red fruit, cloves and cinnamon. On the palate, the Delheim Merlot is elegant, with a subtle structure and silky tannins. It is full-bodied, showing a remarkable freshness recalling aromas of bilberries and plums. Another three to four years of ageing in the bottle will further enhance the wine’s qualities and contribute to its optimal stage of maturity. The Delheim Merlot is definitely a genuine delight to enjoy with fried chicken or mushroom soup.
