The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

The label alone is enough to make you want to drink this wine. Provocative, unique, but above all, humorous. That's the best way to describe the labels from Weingut Emil Bauer. It was a risk when the fifth generation, brothers Alexander and Martin, started producing these labels, especially in the German winemaking world. However, they wanted to inject something of their own into the wines, and they succeeded. Each label tells a story from the life of one of the brothers.

Emil Bauer is located in Nußdor, a picturesque village roughly between Stuttgart and Frankfurt. This region is also known as the Palatinate. It is one of the most productive wine regions in Germany. The region is characterized by the use of traditional grape varieties. However, as progressive as Emil Bauer is, they have also planted several international grape varieties. And with great success. This Emil Bauer "My Merlot is Not the Answer. It Just Makes You Forget the Question" has been praised worldwide by many wine connoisseurs, including Harold Hamersma, who awarded this wine an 8 in the 2019 edition of the Grote Hamersma.

After harvest, the Merlot grapes are lightly aged in oak for three months. This gives Emil Bauer My Merlot is Not the Answer. It Just Makes You Forget the Question a little more tension and complexity. You can smell it immediately. You also detect clear notes of red fruit and cherries in this red wine. The palate is surprisingly full for a 100% Merlot, characterized primarily by the juicy fruit. However, the herbs also play a significant role in Emil Bauer My Merlot is Not the Answer. It Just Makes You Forget the Question. The wine has depth and is very flavorful.
