Carmel Merlot Appellation 2017

This dry red wine was produced from a blend of Merlot grapes grown in the Upper Galilee. After fermentation, the wine underwent extended skin contact before being transferred to French Oak barrels for a maturation period of 14 months.

The Merlot is a rich purple in color and has a splendid aroma of cassis, violets and bittersweet chocolate, and is full-bodied with a long well-balanced aftertaste. In order to preserve its full potential, the wine was coarsely filtered prior to bottling. Therefore, natural sediment could appear during bottle maturation.
