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.

Product recommendation

Meerlust Merlot
The Meerlust Merlot comes from the traditional Meerlust Estate in Stellenbosch - a wine estate that has been synonymous with top South African wines for centuries. This single-varietal Merlot cuvée impressively demonstrates how complex and long-lasting the grape variety can be vinified in the cooler locations of the Cape Winelands.The wine shines a deep ruby red in the glass. Intense aromas of black plums, dark cherries and fine herbs unfold on the nose, accompanied by hints of mocha, tobacco and subtle spice. On the palate, the Merlot is powerful and juicy with ripe, dark fruit flavors and a present but elegant acidity. Notes of cherry tobacco, black pepper and delicate wood provide multi-layered depth. The finish is long, structured and supported by fine-grained tannins - a wine with excellent ageing potential.The wine is aged for a total of 18 months: first, the individual vineyards are vinified separately and matured in small French barriques. After blending, the wine is matured further in oak, with around 40% new wood being used. The wine is then further refined in the bottle before being sold.Meerlust Merlot is an excellent accompaniment to braised lamb, fillet of beef with mushroom jus, mature hard cheese or pasta with dark sauces. Enjoy it at a drinking temperature of 16-18 °C.The Meerlust Merlot has an intense, dark color in the glass. The bouquet combines notes of brambly fruit, mulberry, licorice and damson plum, with a hint of dark chocolate and spices. On the palate, this red wine offers generous Merlot fruit, with structured acidity and yet soft tannins, as well as a pronounced length and minerality.The Merlot from the Meerlust winery is an excellent accompaniment to red meat, game and strong cheeses.

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.
