Herzblut
MERLOT
Ried Schilling
This Merlot not only mirrors expertise but Georg Weinwurms heart blood. The French vine, a rare variety in this region, had to be planted twice in the beginning. This paid off: creamy, fruity and round, meanwhile the Merlot is the most popular red wine of the winery.
TASTING NOTES Dark berries, sweet plum, vanilla and smoke, mint, vivacious, vegetal,
