Recanati Merlot 750ml

“Even before one vine was planted in the winery’s vineyards, Lenny Recanati and Uri Shaked had already planted the dream.” The dream was to bring quality wines to connoisseurs in Israel and overseas and to make Recanati Winery synonymous with international excellence in the world of wine.Lenny Recanati and Uri Shaked, now at the forefront of the Israeli wine industry, began their journey in 2000 and are improving all the time. They and their winemaking team share a common vision and a font of inspiration – to produce local, Israeli wine that will express the region’s special terroir. Like a unique fingerprint belonging exclusively to Recanati Winery wines. In the early years, Recanati’s winemaking team studied the classic international varieties, examining – harvest after harvest – the ideal quality and the best growing areas to distill their clearest Israeli flavor and expression. But it was only after a few years, during a night harvest in 2007, that they came up with a revolutionary idea. Wine production that would articulate a combination of classic and Mediterranean varieties.
