A new wine has been launched by the Golan Heights Winery. It is called Yarden Rom 2006 and is made from 37% Syrah, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 29% Merlot. The wine was aged in oak barrels for 21 months. It is 15% alcohol and was unfiltered. Only 6,000 bottles were produced and the shelf price will be 340 shekels. It was released on the first day of Yarden Vintage 2010, the Golan Heights Winery's Wine & Culinary Festival.
