Weingut Bernhard Ernst Merlot Sideways 2019, 0,75 L

The young winemaker has truly come into his own, and his Sideways line reflects this maturity. Bernie showcases his winemaking prowess with these wines, which are bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with reduced sulfur.

Only the finest barrique barrels are selected for this Merlot, and the result is nothing short of fantastic. The aroma is a captivating blend of plum, subtle chocolate, and vibrant fruitiness. On the palate, the wine truly shines with its crisp freshness, showcasing freshly picked plums and a lively streak of acidity. Surprisingly slender, it glides over the tongue, offering a refreshing and juicy experience. Despite its robust 15% alcohol, the wine remains elegant and delicately flavored.

This is a standout example of Central Burgenland Merlot, ideal for pairing with red meats.
