Gilgal Merlot was produced from Merlot grapes grown in the Golan Heights. The cool climate, rocky volcanic soil and high altitude are ideal conditions for growing this classic variety. Aging in French oak barrels for 9 months rounds out the berry floral and spice characters in this approachable and elegant Merlot. To preserve the quality of the wine, this bottle should be stored on its side in a cool, dark place.
