Yarden Merlot Allone Habashan Vineyard

The festive 2022 harvest marked our 40th vintage and first since 2019 not under strict coronavirus protocols. A rainy March ensured the start of spring growth with the desired full water profile in the Golan’s beautiful volcanic soils. Though a historic heat wave hit at the end of August, our deep-rooted vineyards were largely unaffected. Our ever-increasing vine resilience and vineyard resolution, as shown by our growing number of vineyard blocks, has led to ever-increasing wine quality. The relatively short 11-week 2022 vintage delivered quality fruit and yields 4% above normal, making for yet another outstanding harvest in the Golan Heights.
