This Merlot from Domaine 1196 reveals its full potential after several years of bottle aging, combining ripe fruit with elegant structure. As a dry red wine from Burgenland, it impresses with depth, balance and refined spice.
On the nose, it unfolds a multi-layered bouquet of dark cherries, black berries, delicate oak spice and subtle caramel notes. On the palate, it is rich yet elegant, with sweet berry fruit, fine tannins and lively freshness. The long, slightly saline finish completes its harmonious overall profile.

Domaine 1196 Winery
The winery Domaine 1196 in Gamlitz combines centuries-old winemaking tradition with modern cellar technology. The name refers to the year 1196, the first documented mention of viticulture in the region, and reflects its deep roots in the Styrian terroir. This is where distinctive wines with a clear signature and strong character are created.
At the historic site of a former vineyard, a state-of-the-art cellar was built, uniting production, storage, and logistics under one roof. With a focus on precision and innovation, the wines are also given the freedom to develop naturally. The project was initiated by Siegfried Wolf and realized together with renowned figures such as Reinhard Muster and Albert Gesellmann. The result is wines defined by elegance and a clear Styrian identity.
