Vintage 2024
The Merlot reserve 2024 is a dry red from Ried Hutweide in Teesdorf. The grapes came in on 18 September at 22 °KMW. Austria did not make much wine that year: 1,87 million hectolitres, the smallest harvest since 2010. Late frost, drought, hail and heavy rain all had a say. The batch is 2.000 litres.
