General Information
The Tschida Angerhof Merlot Spätlese is an exceptional creation from Burgenland, Austria. This wine is made from carefully selected Merlot grapes harvested late in the season when the grapes are at their sweetest. The late harvest, or ‘Spätlese,’ results in a more concentrated fruit profile and a higher sugar content, leading to a richer, more intense wine experience. The vinification process of Tschida Angerhof emphasizes traditional methods that reflect the region’s unique terroir, preserving the natural characteristics of the grapes.
