Wine bottled from this year (and future years, G-d willing), went out to the public with the label “Oz V’Anava”, representing Weiss-HaLivni’s Nativ Avot merlot. These bottles can also still be purchased. It a delicious wine, with an especially deep-purple color, and an alcohol content that does not disappoint.

So, we are talking now about a total of 500 vines of merlot in Susya. A week before Rosh HaShana we harvested the original vineyard and were blessed with 587 kilograms. On the 9^th of Tishrei we harvested the new field and were blessed with 40 kilograms (the deer had a good time this year). After three natural filtering processes, on the 23^rd of Adar Sheni we ended up with 724 bottles of merlot (including Nativ Avot, see further). The 2013 vintage is currently available for sale.  It has a relatively “fruity” flavor and a medium to high alcohol content (14.1 %). We have had good reviews thus far, and the ageing potential appears to be very good.
