The finish lingers on the palate, leaving an impression of liveliness and elegance, perfectly complemented by a fine, sparkling acidity.

Vinification of the Merlot Blanc de Noir from Villa Hochdörffer

The vinification of the Merlot Blanc de Noir is carried out with the utmost care. The cultivation of the grapes occurs on high-quality loess soils that provide the vines with mineral nutrients. These soils are ideal for the Merlot grape, as they ensure optimal water absorption. The harvest takes place in the early morning hours when the grapes have retained the fresh coolness of the morning. This promotes the development of aromas.

After selective harvesting, the grapes undergo gentle pressing. The must is then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, which optimally highlight the fruitiness and floral notes. Fermentation is carried out at low temperatures to maintain a clear, vibrant freshness.

Following fermentation, the wine matures for several months on the fine lees, which imparts additional complexity and structure. This aging on the lees contributes to a fuller body and a refined texture. Through this careful vinification, a wine is created that unfolds beautifully both young and after a few years of aging.
