Merlot trocken - Weinbiet Manufaktur

The Merlot penned by Weinbiet Manufaktur from the Palatinate presents a dense, purple color in the glass. This single-varietal German wine reveals wonderfully complex notes of plums and blackberries in the glass. These are joined by hints of earthy.

On the palate, Weinbiet Manufaktur's Merlot starts wonderfully dry, grippy and aromatic. Some wines are dry on the label, others really are. This red wine belongs to the second group, as it was bottled with only 0.3 grams of residual sugar. On the tongue, this punchy red wine is characterized by an immensely powerful texture. Due to its concise fruit acidity, the Merlot presents itself exceptionally fresh and lively on the palate. The finale of this red wine with good aging potential from the wine-growing region of the Palatinate, more precisely from the Neustadt, finally convinces with extraordinary reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets of the clay-dominated soils.

Vinification of the Weinbiet Manufaktur Merlot

The powerful Merlot from Germany is a single-varietal wine, made from the Merlot grape variety. In the Palatinate region, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils dominated by clay. At the time of optimal ripeness, the grapes for Merlot are harvested particularly quickly and at the coolest possible time of day to preserve their aromas. After the manual harvest, the grapes are taken to the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in large wood at controlled temperatures. After the completion of fermentation, the powerful Merlot is aged for several months in oak barrels.
