Select high-altitude Menara vineyard in Israel’s Upper Galilee, 2,500 feet above sea level, is the source of this singular Reserve Merlot.
| Wine maker notes |
| After careful hand harvesting, the grapes are de-stemmed and left to soak for two days to fully extract their fruity, spicy character. A small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon is included to enhance depth and complexity. After a fermentation period of two weeks, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels where it matures for 18 months. |
| Food pairing |
| An outstanding accompaniment to grilled red meats, poultry, risottos and mushroom-based dishes. Serve slightly cooler than room temperature. |
