Merlot feels at home here in Carnuntum. It loves the warm late summers and sunny, dry autumns. This makes it one of the most important red wine varieties in our winery.
Ruby garnet with a dark core, juicy dark berries, intense cassis, hints of nougat, smooth, velvety and round on the palate, elegant spice in the finish, has a lot of power, long-lasting

ORIGIN
vineyard. Bärnreiser in Höflein
soil. nutritious gravely loess
climate. Bärnreiser is one of our warmest places, similar to a separate valley which stores the warm sunshine of the hot summer days and stays very warm during the nights as well. The deep soils keep the warmth for the grapes and therefore bring constant ripening, which is very important for the Merlot in our “cool climate”. As a result the vines yield a very high quality every year and a Merlot with dark fruit, a long and deep structure, and a very full-bodied palate.
