Teperberg “Essence” Merlot 2016 is a dry red wine from the Judean Hills, a region known for its limestone soils and ideal conditions for producing elegant, expressive wines. Crafted entirely from Merlot, the wine offers inviting aromas and flavors of ripe plum, black cherry, and red berries, enhanced by notes of vanilla, cocoa, gentle spice, and subtle oak from barrel aging. Medium to full-bodied in style, it features soft, well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity, leading to a smooth, polished mouthfeel and a lingering, refined finish. This approachable yet structured wine pairs beautifully with roasted meats, beef dishes, pasta in rich sauces, and semi-aged cheeses.
