Merlot R trocken 2017 - Wagner-Stempel

The Merlot R dry from Wagner-Stempel from the German wine-growing region Siefersheim in Rheinhessen is a grape-varietal, balanced and complex red wine, which is vinified exclusively from organically grown Merlot grapes.

In the glass, this wine shimmers in a deep ruby red with dark violet highlights. The nose is pampered by a fruity and spicy bouquet. Berry aromas of juicy blackberries and cassis unfold - perfectly complemented by spicy balsamic notes of tobacco as well as chocolate and a fine hint of oak wort

On the palate, this German red wine has a filigree acidity that harmonizes wonderfully with the strong and extremely mineral body. The velvety, concise tannin structure is in perfect balance. With seductive power and enormous volume, this wine concludes with a final of great length.

Vinification of the Wagner stamp Merlot Reserve

The Merlot grapes for this red wine grow in a single plot on the Siefersheimer Höllberg. The ground is rocky with silty clay and rhyolite rock in the underground

The grapes are picked very late by hand and are already selected in the vineyard. In the wine cellar of Wagner-Stempel, this red wine is aged in oak barrels after the fermentation process has been completed.

Food recommendation for the reserve Wagner stamp Merlot

This dry red wine from Germany is an excellent accompaniment to beef stews in dark sauce, strong meat stews or to lamb carree with oven potatoes.
