2022 QUO VADIS®
Merlot vom Schotter
Niederösterreich
Intense, toned and lush – that sums up the style of our QuoVadis®. For many years now, each vintage has been really important to us and to other lovers of merlot – outside the bloated mainstream, of course. The vines don’t demand much from the earth, but the right soil unlocks the grapes’ true complexity. The merlot we use for our QuoVadis® grows in some of the Carnuntum region’s best-known vineyards. As only the very best grapes from premium vines will do, we only produce a limited release of this quintessential merlot.
