Tradition Merlot Dry Red Wine - Bergdolt-Reif & Nett

The elegant Tradition Merlot red wine from Bergdolt-Reif & Nett flows into the glass with a vibrant purple-red color. The first nose of the Tradition Merlot red wine reveals notes of raspberries and plums. Alongside the fruity hints of the bouquet, notes of barrel aging add even more fruity-balsamic nuances.

This wine delights with its straightforward dry flavor profile. It was bottled with 5.7 grams of residual sugar. As one would expect from a wine in the higher price range, this German wine, despite its dryness, enchants with a fine balance. Excellent taste does not necessarily require sugar. This powerful and meaty red wine presents itself balanced and complex on the palate. With its lively fruit acidity, the Tradition Merlot red wine feels wonderfully fresh and vibrant on the palate. The finish of this youthful red wine from the Pfalz region, specifically from Duttweiler, ultimately impresses with a good aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral hints from the clay and loess-dominated soils.

Vinification of the Bergdolt-Reif & Nett Tradition Merlot Red Wine

This balanced red wine from Germany is vinified from the Merlot grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Pfalz. The vines dig their roots deep into soils of clay and loess. After harvesting, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here, they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large wooden vessels at controlled temperatures. This fermentation is followed by several months of aging in oak barrels.
