Winemaking

Sourced from the vineyards of the Upper Galilee, the grapes for the merlot were selectively harvested in late September and early October. After a warm fermentation and frequent “rack and return” for wetting the grape cap the wine was pressed out and transferred for aging in second and third use barrels for up to a year.

A good Merlot such as this can be drunk with lasagna, casseroles (meat or vegetarian), grilled meats and barbecued steaks or chicken
