Salzl Merlot Reserve 2021 14,5% Vol. 0,75l

The Salzl Merlot Reserve 2021 is a powerful, dense, yet elegantly balanced red wine from Burgenland's Seewinkel region. Made from 100% Merlot, this wine reflects the full potential of the grape variety – warm, deep, with a silky tannin structure and aromatic density. The vines are rooted in black soil consisting of loamy silt with a high gravel content, a soil that lends the wine a clear structure, depth of fruit, and mineral freshness.

The grapes are vinified after traditional maceration in steel tanks at 30°C with a 14-day maceration period, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged for 12 months in small oak barrels made from 100% new oak – an aging method that imparts fullness, silky tannins, and elegant roasted aromas to the wine. With 14.5% alcohol by volume, the Merlot Reserve impresses with its intense fruit, harmonious depth, and impressive ageing potential until at least 2034.

A truly top-quality Merlot that bears both international appeal and Burgenland's signature – full of character, ripe fruit, and a long-lasting finish.
