Descrizione

The Merlot of Allone Habashan Vineyard, offered by Yarden, is born in one of the most renowned areas of Galilee, where the unique terroir helps enhance its personality. This wine, made from carefully selected Merlot grapes, presents an intense ruby red color, which anticipates a rich and enveloping bouquet. On the nose, notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, emerge, accompanied by delicate spicy hints and vanilla nuances due to aging. The passage in wood enhances the structure, giving the palate a velvety softness and an important balance between freshness and body. Long and persistent, the finish offers a pleasantly fruity aftertaste, ideal to accompany red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses. A Merlot of character, an authentic expression of the Israeli territory, capable of captivating with its elegance and depth.

Winery history

The Yarden label was born within the Golan Heights Winery, founded by local agricultural communities. The producer has played a central role in the development of modern Israeli viticulture and in promoting the Golan's quality wines on the international stage.

Production philosophy

The approach prioritizes expression of the terroir: high‑altitude plantings, detailed study of individual vineyard blocks, and targeted winemaking to highlight the identity of each parcel. The estate carries out separate harvesting and vinification of the lots to preserve terroir characteristics and select the best grape clusters for top lines such as Yarden.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards mainly located on the Golan Plateau and in the Galilee region: basaltic volcanic soils, significant diurnal temperature variation, snowy winters and varying altitudes that contribute to wines with freshness, structure and mineral character.

Awards and recognitions

The group has received numerous international recognitions; among the awards cited in public sources is recognition from Wine Enthusiast.
