{"product_id":"markus-schneider-merlot","title":"Markus Schneider Merlot Mon Église","description":"\u003cp\u003eMerlot from the Palatinate — that sounds more unusual than it actually is. Markus Schneider, the career changer from Ellerstadt who once worked as a car mechanic and taught himself the craft of winemaking, has made a name for himself in the Palatinate for powerful, accessible red wines. His Merlot follows this line: a wine that doesn't take any long detours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, it shows ripe blackberry and plum, underpinned by a hint of cocoa and dark chocolate — typical for a well-matured Merlot from a warm growing region like the Palatinate. Soft and round on the palate, with velvety tannins and a pleasant length. The finish remains spicy, with a slight hint of cedar wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServed at \u003cstrong\u003e16–18 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e, it shows to its best advantage. Ready to drink now, but also good for the next two to three years. It cuts a fine figure with a beef pot roast, pasta with ragù, or a strong hard cheese — an uncomplicated companion for the evening that doesn't need to look long for an occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Markus Schneider","offers":[{"title":"2022","offer_id":53468287893840,"sku":"VW10161","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/markus_schneider_merlot_product.webp?v=1787737670","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/markus-schneider-merlot","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
