The Hannes Reeh Haus & Hof Merlot 2023, 13.5% ABV, in a 0.75-litre bottle, is an elegant and fruit-driven Merlot from Austria, which showcases the grape variety in a classic and particularly accessible style. This high-quality Austrian red wine is made from 100 per cent Merlot grapes and impressively demonstrates just how harmonious and full of character a Merlot can be when not aged in barriques. In Austria in particular, a Merlot red wine matured classically in stainless steel tanks is considered a particular rarity, as many producers of this grape variety opt for intensive oak barrel ageing. This makes this Haus & Hof Merlot stand out in particular, with its clear fruitiness and elegant structure.


The grapes come from gravelly soils with a sandy component and were carefully harvested by hand. Both fermentation and ageing take place entirely in steel tanks, which ensures that the wine’s freshness, fruity aromas and soft style are optimally preserved. With an alcohol content of 13.5% vol., the Hannes Reeh Merlot 2023 is harmonious, smooth and well-balanced. Its velvety tannins and refined structure make this dry red wine from Austria a versatile accompaniment to food, with ageing potential until 2029. For lovers of Austrian Merlot, fruity red wine, classic Merlot, quality Austrian wine, dry red wine and red wine aged without barrique, this vintage offers an elegant and uncomplicated tasting experience with clear fruit and a modern style.
