Hofkellerei des Fürsten von Liechtenstein Anberola Merlot 2019

The Hofkellerei is one of the first Austrian wineries to plant Merlot in their vineyards.

Grape Varietals & Region: The wines of the Reserve stem from older vines, grown in the deep loess soils of the single vineyards Karls- and Johannesberg, owned by the family for more than 600 years.

Taste Profile: Stylistically dominated by maturity, pleasant spiciness, lush fruit and powerful body. Dark ruby-garnet with violet highlights and a slight lightening at the rim. Wild strawberry confit, black berry fruit supported with balsamic nuances; fine structural tannins, chocolate and tobacco spice with a persistent aftertaste.

Winemaking Process: Traditional gentle vinification, fermentation in wooden vats followed by three years maturing in selected French barriques in the centuries-old vaulted cellar of the Hofkellerei.
