1848 Merlot Reserve
In 1848, with the rejuvenation of the Jewish settlement in Jerusalem, Yitzhak Galina-Shor opened the first winery in Israel, in a basement adjunct to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. During the eight generations since its foundation, 1848 Winery continued to grow and gain recognition for its quality wines, re-positioned into several locations, but maintained a tradition of wine production as a way of life.
With a dark crimson color, the wine illuminates its fresh notes of roasted coffee and eucalyptus. The palate reveals its elegant and impressive acidity, with a full velvety body and a long and notable finish. An extraordinary New World style wine. Merlot Reserve was aged for a total of 24 months in French oak barrels.
