MP Merlot trocken - Markus Pfaffmann

The MP Merlot from the wine-growing region the Palatinate reveals itself in the glass in bright purple. Poured into a Bordeaux goblet, this red wine from the Old World shows wonderfully expressive aromas of raisins, prunes, fruit bread and dried fruit, rounded off by oak, cinnamon and vanilla.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with 5.1 grams of residual sugar. As you would naturally expect from a wine in the upper price range, this German wine naturally enraptures with the finest balance for all its dryness. Aroma does not necessarily require much residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this balanced red wine is wonderfully dense. Due to the moderate fruit acidity, the MP Merlot flatters with a soft mouthfeel, without lacking freshness at the same time. The final of this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of the Palatinate finally captivates with considerable reverberation.

Vinification of the Markus Pfaffmann MP Merlot

Basis for the balanced MP Merlot from the Palatinate are grapes from the grape variety Merlot. After the harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the winery. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.

Food recommendation for the MP Merlot by Markus Pfaffmann
