Merlot DOC Ris. Siebeneich SCHRECKBICHL 375ml 2021

Description:
Aroma of fully ripe wild berries and dark chocolate. Very dense and complex with fine tannins. Elegant Merlot with very good ageing potential.
Ageing potential: 6 - 8 years.
Recommended food: Goes well with hearty roasted or grilled meats with root vegetables and spicy dark sauces, as well as game dishes and cheeses.
Serving temperature: 16° C.
Grape variety: Merlot. The grapes come from 20-year-old trellised vineyards with a planting density of approx. 5,000 vines/ha.
Sites: Sun-exposed slope. Extremely dry and heat-retaining quartz porphyry weathered soil that only allows low yields.
Vinification: Must fermentation at 28-30° C in stainless steel tanks. Gentle circulation of grape skins and juice is used to achieve optimal extraction of colour and extract
substances. Further ageing takes place entirely in small wooden barrels for about 12 months. After gentle filling and 12 months of bottle ageing, the wine is put on sale.
