Pfalz – The Homeland of Toreye Merlot

Germany’s wine region Pfalz offers ideal conditions for a wine of this quality. The region not only shapes the microclimate, but also the signature of Eymann Winery. Here in southwest Germany, you encounter vineyards with impressive slope positions. The Haardtrand surrounds the vine rows with its cool woods. The calcareous loess soils provide mineral and fruit for the Toreye Merlot. Eymann Winery manages plots in Gönnheim, Bad Dürkheim, and Wachenheim. The Schlossberg in the Wachenheimer Valley and the Fuchsmantel near Dürkheim shape the landscape. These vineyards are terraced and offer challenging conditions for the vines. The winemakers here use traditional methods to highlight the typical characteristics of Pfalz wines. The Toreye Merlot reflects this story and presents it with elegance and style.

Aging – From the Vine to the Bottle

The journey from the vine to the Toreye Merlot bottle is a handful of careful steps. The harvest is exclusively done by hand, to select only the best grapes. The must fermentation in open fermentation tanks allows a gentle extraction of color and aromas. The wine then ages for 18 months in oak barrels. The barrels from the famous French oak carry their trademark: nuanced wood notes and spice. The aging in Barriques and Tonneaus adds depth and complexity to the wine. Smaller barrels allow a slightly different character development than the barrels. Every bottle of Toreye Merlot has an individual story, shaped by handwork and patience. The wine shows itself on the palate as smooth and balanced, with well-integrated tannins. It is a wine of elegance, of history, and of love for detail.
