Vinification of the Answer Merlot by Emil Bauer

This wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, and that is Merlot. For this wonderfully balanced varietal wine from Emil Bauer, only first-class grapes were used. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Palatinate region. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of clay, limestone and loess. The grapes for this red wine from Germany, at the time of optimal ripeness, are harvested particularly quickly and at the coolest possible time of day to preserve their aromas. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly transferred to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place in large wood at controlled temperatures. After the completion of fermentation, Answer Merlot is aged for another 15 months in barriques and double barrels of French oak.
