Fallwind · Merlot-Cabernet DOC 2021

  The “Fallwind” Merlot-Cabernet from the St. Michael-Eppan winery reveals itself to be a wine of remarkable richness and refinement, impressively reflecting the Alpine origins of South Tyrol. Its bouquet unfolds a complex palette of dark berries, ripe cherries, and subtle notes of cassis, accompanied by fine spice nuances and a hint of vanilla. The combination of the two grape varieties, Merlot and Cabernet, gives the wine a harmonious structure: the softness and fruitiness of the Merlot blends with the elegance and deep spiciness of the Cabernet, creating a smooth texture that makes every sip an expressive experience.

The name “Fallwind” symbolizes the dynamic mountain winds that bring movement and a special microclimate to the vineyards, promoting the aromatic intensity of the grapes. At the St. Michael-Eppan winery, great importance is attached to gentle hand harvesting and careful vinification, so that the characteristic properties of the grape varieties come into their own. This combination of natural viticulture, precise cellar technology, and artisanal passion gives the Merlot-Cabernet a fascinating depth and elegance that makes both the alpine landscapes of South Tyrol and the dedication of the winemakers tangible in every drop. - Gerardo [TS10/22]
