The Merlot grape variety originated in France and is a slightly tart red wine with a garnet to dark garnet color. The red wine has aromas of red berries, grass, and wild vine. The Cantina Tramin Merlot has a pleasant fullness and shows red and black currants, Amarena cherry, and a vegetal tartness on the palate in a soft tannin structure with a long-lasting finish. This wonderful Merlot accompanies hearty Tyrolean dishes, especially game dishes and wild fowl, and also holds its own alongside aged mountain cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCantina Tramin – Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe mild winter of the 2024 vintage with sufficient rainfall, as well as a warm March also blessed with rain, led to an early bud break of the vines. Subsequently, it was rather cool and humid until the end of June, with the exception of a few early summer days in April. The summer was warm with many hours of sunshine, and a rainy autumn extended the vegetation period of the grapes. Overall, 2024 was a challenging vintage, requiring many extra hours of work in the vineyard. Thanks to a consistent implementation of the quality philosophy, the experience of the winemakers, and the cooperation within the cooperative, grapes of remarkable quality could be harvested for Cantina Tramin, especially for the white varieties and Pinot Noir. Thus, the white wines of the 2024 vintage are delicate and fresh in the glass, while among the reds, the elegance of the Pinot Noir stands out in particular.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vines for this Cantina Tramin Merlot grow on calcareous and gravelly clay soils on hillsides between 250 to 400 m above sea level. The grapes were harvested at the time of optimal physiological ripeness and brought in small containers to the winery building, where they were destemmed before the mash was fermented in steel tanks at a controlled temperature (28°C) and in concrete vats. The subsequent malolactic fermentation and at least 6 months of aging take place partly in wooden barrels and partly in concrete vats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMerlot – a Wine and its Values \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin Wine from Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing region South Tyrol - Alto Adige DOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWinery Kellerei Tramin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGrape variety Merlot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVintage 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e13.0 % vol. alcohol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e4.9 g\/l acidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e0.3 g\/l residual sugar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e70 Hl\/hectare yield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kellerei Tramin","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":56363761992006,"sku":"001TRA009","price":12.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6x 750 ml","offer_id":56598026289478,"sku":"001TRA009_6","price":71.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/files\/cantina-tramin-merlot-2024.png?v=1776841344","url":"https:\/\/ginusslande.com\/en\/products\/cantina-tramin-merlot-2024","provider":"genussland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
