The Pfneisl Merlot JOE'S PLAYGROUND 2022 is an expressive Austrian quality red wine from Central Burgenland that combines origin, personality and terroir in an elegant interpretation of Merlot. Produced by the renowned Pfneisl winery, this Merlot from Deutschkreutz comes from the top Mitterberg vineyard on the Deutschkreutz Hochberg plateau. The clay-rich soil characterises the wine with depth, juiciness and mineral tension. The site is also the favourite vineyard of Grandpa Josef, to whom this wine was dedicated, which gives the local wine its special emotional note.


The Pfneisl Merlot JOE'S PLAYGROUND is aged dry and matures for 14 months in used barriques, creating structure and elegance without masking the fruit. With an alcohol content of 14.5 %, the 2022 vintage is powerful, balanced and precisely balanced. The style combines ripe fruit with fine flavour, mineral clarity and well-integrated wood. Bottled with a cork stopper, this Merlot from Burgenland is a sophisticated yet accessible accompaniment to food with a clear origin and long-lasting harmony.
