Rohstoff

Burgenland Merlot

The Hannes Reeh Rohstoff Merlot from Burgenland is an exceptional testament to the region’s winegrowing prowess. This red wine boasts a gorgeous, deep garnet hue that invites immediate interest. Burgenland’s unique terroir infuses this Merlot with a harmonious balance of rich, dark fruit flavors, predominantly blackcurrant and plum, enveloped in elegant oak nuances. On the palate, it offers a robust yet smooth full-body experience, enhanced by lively acidity that brings a refreshing vibrancy to each sip. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, bestowing structure and depth without overpowering the wine's inherent fruitiness. Perfect for pairing with a hearty beef dish or savored on its own, this handcrafted Merlot confirms why Burgenland is celebrated for producing such high-quality, food-friendly wines. Enjoy it now, or let it age gracefully for a few more years to unveil even deeper complexities.

Austria may not be the first country that springs to mind when you think of quality wine, but this slice of central Europe is home to crisp whites and elegant reds that are well worth seeking out. While many classic grapes are grown here, there are exceptional wines made from varieties you rarely see anywhere else, such as white Grüner Veltliner. Spicy and herbaceous, this wine combines notes of white pepper and asparagus with flint and apple. As for reds, the most planted is Zweigelt. This grape is a hybrid of two other local varietals: the spicy Blaufränkisch and light St. Laurent. It combines the best of both worlds with flavors of chocolate, black pepper and fresh raspberry.
