Carmel Selected Merlot is a notable wine from Carmel Winery, one of Israel's most historic and esteemed wine producers. Sourced from vineyards in the upper Galilee and Judean Hills, regions known for their optimal terroir and climate for viticulture, this Merlot is carefully crafted to highlight the unique characteristics of the grape.
