Description
The Jerusalem Hills Merlot is a full-bodied, approachable red wine from the Judean Hills in Israel. The vineyards are located at high altitudes, where warm days and cool nights ensure slow ripening of the grapes. This allows the Merlot to develop plenty of fruit, a beautiful freshness, and a soft structure. This kosher wine is an excellent choice for both everyday use and a festive dinner.
Dark cherries, plums, berries, and a hint of leather
In the glass, this wine has a deep garnet red color. The aroma is rich and inviting with notes of dark cherries, ripe plums, and blackcurrants, complemented by subtle hints of leather and spices. The taste is smooth and round, with ripe dark fruit, soft tannins, and a long, elegant finish where the fruity aromas beautifully reappear.
Modern vinification for a fruity and soft style
The Merlot grapes are carefully selected from high-altitude vineyards in the Judean Hills. After temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine matures in a way that optimally preserves its fruity character, while creating sufficient structure for a beautiful balance between freshness and softness. This makes the wine immediately accessible, but also able to be stored for several years.
Perfect with red meat, poultry, and pasta
This Merlot is a versatile accompaniment to grilled beef, pâté, turkey, free-range chicken, pizza, pasta with meat sauce, seasoned minced meat dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Its soft character also comes into its own wonderfully with a cozy charcuterie board.

Let customers speak for us
We hebben hemmin Maastricht leren kennen en laten hem niet meer los. Een volle wijn die in balans is. We proeven zachte tonen van abrikoos en perzik maar ook de frisheid van citrus. Het beetje aards, mineralig maakt hem
Interessant.
Wij vinden hem erg lekker bij een risotto met zeevruchten.
Goede service, maar onze intercommen liggen eruit dus de bezorger kon niet bellen, toen de dichtstbijzijnde afleveradres Lidl,
Maar hele klus om zware doos te vervoeren, daarom maar een winkelwagen meegenomen.
Very tasty kosher wine, exactly my taste. Fast delivery, would definitely order again!
Een heerlijk zoete rode wijn uit Israël voor Avondmaalsvieringen. Ook lekker voor mensen die nooit drinken
Zie boven.
Het is heerlijke koshere druivensap voor Shabbat.
Habe jetzt das 2te mal hier bestellt und es lief wie beim ersten Mal alles super, danke
Schnelle Lieferung, sicher verpackt, rundum ein zuverlässiger Händler!
Empfehle ich gerne weiter.
wel even lucht geven en niet al te koud drinken. heerlijk bij de dis of tapas, maar voor zomaar ook heerlijk.
Kan bij bijna alles, maar is los ook erg lekker. (en met een zak chips -hoe oneerbieding - ook zo op) ;-)
Wel even een beetje lucht geven (goede decateren - kan een beetje droesem hebben), deze wijn is in het begin wat verlegen, maar met een beetje aanmoediging een echte gangmaker.
