Dornfelder lieblich - Rotwild

With Peter Mertes Rotwild Dornfelder sweet, a first-class red wine finds its way into the glass. It offers a wonderfully brilliant, purple-red color. With a little time in the glass, this red wine from Germany reveals wonderfully expressive aromas of blackberry, mulberry, blackcurrant and blueberry, rounded off by further fruity nuances.

The light-footed Peter Mertes Rotwild Dornfelder sweet shows an incredibly fruit-driven taste on the tongue, which is due not least to its residual-sweet flavor profile. On the palate, the texture of this lightweight red wine presents itself as wonderfully powerful. Thanks to the balanced acidity, Rotwild Dornfelder sweet caresses the palate with a velvety mouthfeel, without lacking juicy liveliness at the same time. On the finish, this wine from the Rheinhessen wine-growing region delights with beautiful length. Once again, hints of blackberry and blackcurrant appear.

Vinification of Rotwild Dornfelder sweet by Peter Mertes

Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After vinification, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled. After the wine is finished, Rotwild Dornfelder sweet is gently harmonized.
