Yarden - Rom Red Blend 2019 750ml

Yarden Rom represents the absolute peak of craftsmanship from the Golan Heights Winery. This rare wine is the result of a collaborative partnership between Head Winemaker Victor Schoenfeld and the legendary Zelma Long. Together, they have created a red blend that stands as a true study of the unique volcanic terroir found in the region. The name Rom translates to "summit" in Hebrew, a fitting title for a wine designed to showcase the very best the land can offer.

The wine is crafted from a specific selection of vineyard blocks in the central and northern Golan Heights. The blend combines 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Syrah, and 24%Merlot to create a profile of exceptional depth and complexity. Each variety is harvested by hand to ensure only the highest quality fruit makes it to the winery. The vines grow in basalt-rich soil at high elevations, which contributes to the distinct identity and structure of the final bottle.

Once fermented, the wine ages for 18 months in French oak barrels. This slow maturation allows the flavors to integrate beautifully, adding polish and elegance. Produced only in specific vintages where quality meets the highest standards, Yarden Rom is a scarce commodity with only a limited number of barrels produced. It is a powerful statement on the world stage for Israeli wine, combining state-of-the-art technology with traditional passion. This is a bottle built for special occasions and serious collectors.
