Yarden Merlot

The Yarden Merlot from the Golan Heights Winery comes from the Golan Heights region in Israel. The dry Merlot is powerful and dense, yet balanced and full of elegance.

The bouquet of the red wine is wonderfully complex, offering aromas of dark fruits, herbs de Provence, bay leaves and green olives. There are also subtle notes of oak, which come from the 14 months of maturation in French barriques. The pure Merlot is full-bodied and rich on the palate. The Merlot also has notes of ripe red and black fruits together with aromas of orange peel and fresh herbs.

The wines from Golan Heights Winery are Kosher Lamehadrin and Kosher for Passover.

Enjoy the Yarden Merlot with lamb or roast beef at a recommended drinking temperature of 18 °C.

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 Delheim Merlot grapes come from vines up to 20 years old from a vineyard called Peperboom Vineyard. The Peperboom, which means pepper tree or pepper bush, was originally planted here. The grapes were harvested in two stages in order to achieve the maximum concentration of tannins and color. Fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tanks using selected yeast strains. The temperature during the fermentation process was between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius. The juice was then stored on the skins for a further 18 days and then matured for 12 months in French oak barrels.Notes of tobacco, red fruits with cloves and cinnamon are clearly recognizable on the nose. The Delheim Merlot is an elegant wine with a subtle structure and silky tannins. Full-bodied on the palate with an unusual freshness reminiscent of blueberry and plum flavors.Ageing in the bottle for 3 to 4 years allows the wine to reach optimum maturity. Certainly a delight with roast chicken or mushroom soup.
