Hafner’s Queen Esther Reserve Merlot is grown organically in Austria’s Burgenland and bottled mevushal for full kosher service. A soft, fruit-led Merlot built to please the table without demanding attention.
Mood: soft, ruby-fruited.
Sommelier’s note
“The Merlot for the Merlot-doubter — round, mevushal, organic, and easy on every guest.”
Tasting notes
Fresh cherries and sour-cherry on a fruity, lifted nose. Dry with good balance, fine tannin structure, gentle toasting, and many black fruits. Smooth and long with secondary fruits and integrated wood.
Pairing
Grilled meats and roast chicken; also a comfortable foil for a Shabbos lunch cholent.
