Product recommendation

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.
