Merlot Selection trocken 2015 - Markus Pfaffmann

The Merlot Selection by Markus Pfaffmann presents itself in an intense ruby ​​red with a complex bouquet in the glass. In the foreground are the aromas of dried plums, mocha and spices, which is subtly accompanied by chocolate and a hint of leather.

This red wine reveals itself on the palate full-bodied and round with a soft tannin structure. Subtle wood notes lead into an impressively long finale.

Vinification of the Pfaffmann Merlot Selection

The vines for this varietal Merlot are rooted in single layers on loess clay soils with limescale.

The mash period of 12 days with daily stirring of the mash allows an intensive extraction of aromas, color and tannins. Two-thirds of this wine is aged in new barrels and one-third in old oak barrels for 24 months. Then this German Merlot is refined for a while in the bottle.

Food recommendation for the Pfaffmann Merlot Selection
