Description: Merlot excels with its dark, intense ruby red colour. Its bouquet is fruity and rich with delicate nuances of blackberries and raspberries. On the palate, Merlot releases a delicate tannin structure and a soft but very persistent aftertaste: an ideal wine for Merlot lovers.
Grape varierty: Merlot - South Tyrol DOC
Production area: The grapes used to make this Merlot grow in Leitach and in Tramin at an altitude of 450 – 500 metres. The vines are trained on trellises (Guyot system) and thrive on heat-retaining, sandy porphyry soils.
Vinification: The grapes are delivered to the winery in 220 kg crates. They are lightly crushed, destemmed and fermented at a temperature of 28°C for about 10 days. By gently pounding the skins down and carefully pumping the must around, contact with the skins is maintained for as long as possible to achieve good colour and flavour extraction. The wine is aged in small French oak barrels and then in the bottle.
Food pairing: This Merlot MOLLIS is a beautiful accompaniment to red mead, grilled dishes and mature cheeses.
Serving temperature: 16 - 18°C.
Ageing potential: more than 5 years.
Bottle size: 750 ml - 75 cl - 0,75 lt.
Allergens: wine can contain sulphites.
Producer: Ritterhof Winery And uniqueness is provided by the vineyards of the Ritterhof, which are distributed from Salorno all the way up to Renon. The product line is extremely broad, ranging from Red Muscat to Merlot and Lagrein all the way to Pinot Noir and Gewürztraminer. And, it goes without saying, Schiava. That is a bow to the winegrowing tradition by the Ritterhof Estate Winery. And innovation is provided by the fungus-resistant varieties with which the Kaneppeles are experimenting in their trial vineyards. And the three colors also correspond to the three lines of the estate winery. Brown is the color of the Terra line, and thus of down-to-earth Alto Adige wines, while green decorates the Collis line for which only completely mature grapes from the best terraced slopes are used. Blue, on the other hand, stands for the top line Rarus, consisting of wines that are carefully aged in small oak casks.
