It is hard to make a wrong choice when there is a pure Merlot in the bottle and the golden Franz Haas inscription on the label. The first is synonymous with pleasantness in the glass. The second certifies its quality. Franz Haas harvests his Merlot grapes in vineyards not too high up, between 250 and 300 metres above sea level, on soils mainly of erosive porphyritic origin. Once in the cellar, the grapes are immediately sent for processing. Vinification takes place in open steel vats where frequent punching-down and pumping-over takes place. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is then racked into barriques for malolactic fermentation. Afterwards, the wine matures in barriques for 18 months and, after bottling, it is refined for another year in bottles. Garnet red in colour, the nose reveals notes of elderberries, wild berries and dried figs. All enriched by spicy aromas of freshly ground pepper and star anise. In the mouth it conquers with its great freshness, articulated structure, fullness and firm tannin. The long finish recalls toasted and vanilla notes. This international red goes well with game, red meat and hard mature cheese.
