Hannes Reeh Haus & Hof Merlot 2023 13,5% Vol. 0,75l

The Hannes Reeh Haus & Hof Merlot 2023, 13.5% ABV, in a 0.75-liter bottle, is an elegant and fruit-forward Merlot from Austria that presents the grape variety in a classic and particularly approachable style. This high-quality Austrian red wine is made from 100% Merlot grapes and impressively demonstrates how harmonious and characterful a Merlot aged without barriques can be. Especially in Austria, a classic Merlot red wine aged in stainless steel tanks is considered a rare find, as many examples of this grape variety rely on intensive oak barrel aging. This makes this Haus & Hof Merlot stand out with its clear fruit and elegant structure.

The grapes come from gravelly soils with a sandy content and were carefully hand-harvested. Fermentation and aging take place entirely in stainless steel tanks, which optimally preserves the wine's freshness, fruity aromas, and smooth style. At 13.5% ABV, the 2023 Hannes Reeh Merlot presents itself as harmonious, soft, and balanced. The velvety tannins and fine structure make this dry red wine from Austria a versatile food pairing wine with aging potential until 2029. For lovers of Austrian Merlot, fruity red wine, classic Merlot, Austrian quality wine, dry red wine, and red wine without barrique aging, this vintage offers an elegant and uncomplicated taste experience with clear fruit and a modern style.
