Merlot Rosé "Kotzner"

Plot: On the alluvial fan of the Fennberg River. At 223 m/a.s.l, on a gentle slope of Dolomitic scree with sandy-clayey soil. Vineyard: Pergola trained, approximately 3,300 vines per hectare, planted in 1980. Harvet date: 15th October. Wine making: Fermented and then aged in stainless steel vats on the fine lees, no malolactic fermentation and tartaric stabilization. 1,400 bottles. Analysis: 15.0 % ABV, total acidity 5.5 g/l, residual sugar 2.2 g/l, dry extract 26.0 g/l. Tasting: The bouquet is heavily accented with delightful fruited scents highly redolent of raspberry and cherry notes. A generously full wine, enjoy it at mealtimes, rather than as an aperitif. A well-proportioned acidity confers balance and drinkability.
