Yarden Merlot is produced from Merlot and a percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon which are all grown in the Golan Heights. The cool climate, rocky volcanic soil, and high altitude are ideal conditions for growing classic wine grape varieties. Aging in French oak barrels for fourteen months balances the existing orange zest and berry characters present in the wine with a layers of oak and vanilla. This bottle should be stored on its side in a cool, dark place. The Golan Heights Winery produces premium varietals, proprietary blends and traditional method sparkling wines. The winery was founded in 1983 and is located high up on the Golan Heights in the small town of Katzrin.

The brand is named for the Jordan River, "Yarden" in Hebrew, which divides the Golan Heights from the Upper Galilee. In Israel, optimal conditions exist in the Golan Heights. As in other premier wine regions worldwide, everything in this magical strip of land begins with the right conditions – in the Golan, a combination of volcanic basaltic soil, suitable topography and high altitude resulting in cool climate. This is what gives the Golan Heights its second name: “Wine Country.” Over the years, the distinctive wines of the Golan Heights Winery have become world-renowned, winning dozens of awards at prestigious international competitions. Indeed, the Winery has placed Israel on the world wine map. Since its founding in 1983, the Golan Heights Winery has marketed three leading brands – Yarden, Gamla and Golan. Today, it is considered Israel’s leading winery when it comes to wine quality, technological innovation, and new variety development. The Winery has played a significant role in nurturing the country’s current wine culture, and has altered the way Israeli wines are perceived worldwide.

A land with a huge range of microclimates, Israel has shown steady improvement in the quality of its wines over the past thirty years; in particular, the region of Galilee in the northern mountains is producing excellent Bordeaux varietals. Much of Israel's wine is shipped overseas, to meet the world's demand for kosher wines.
