Deep, rich, succulent fruit with soft, vanilla oak. Clos De Gat use minimal filtration and fining to preserve the pure texture and expression of the fruit. A truly fantastic wine.

Tasting Note:

From top producer Clos de Gat, this sumptuous Merlot is aged in new French oak for 15 months, resulting in a super-powered aroma of compote berry fruit and herbal notes. To taste, it's equally potent, but with a velvety texture and full bodied palate that makes it a lot more than a one hit wonder.

Producer Description

Clos de Gat is situated in the foothills of the Judean Mountains, bordering Israel’s biblical Ayalon Valley, where Joshua defeated the Five Kings. An ancient “Gat” (Hebrew for wine press), pre-dating the Roman period by a thousand years, is located by the house set in the heart of the vineyards
The region’s rolling hills and valleys have supported grapevine cultivation for thousands of years. The combination of a thin layer of topsoil atop a bed-rock of limestone, together with a unique micro-climate, make it possible to grow grapes of outstanding quality.
