Feld Merlot/Cabernet Riserva DOC 2019

Vintage

A relatively milde winter was followed by a dry March and a dry and warm April, and flowering set in somewhat earlier than usual. There were no long heatwaves in the summer. In spite of this, the head start in the vegetation cycle became shorter and shorter up to the harvest, and the first grapes were harvested at the beginning of September, with the last load reaching the winery on October 9. The white wines of the 2020 vintage present with an appealing acidity; the reds are impressive for their elegance and finesse.

Tasting notes

– beautiful garnet red color
– multi-layered warm notes of ripe forest berries and roasted coffee beans
– strong body with smooth tannins in great harmony with a vivacious acidity structure and long lasting finish

Recommendation

Ideal in combination roasted meat, chinese duck or other spicy asian dishes.

Vinification

Both grape varieties were separately fermented and stored for 12 months in little oak casks; after this ageing process the wines come together and the new blend ages in big wooden casks until bottling.

Vineyard

Steep, southerly exposed slopes at 250 – 350 meters above sea level. Sandy soil containing lime and porphyry.
