TASTING NOTES
Merlot is definitely a grape variety that has adapted to Chile with great success. Following several years of experimentation, we decided to introduce plantations into several climates, from the torrid coastal strip to the coolest of areas, Río Claro. By blending these diferent origins we obtain a Merlot with great aromatic intensity, plum and blackberry jam mixed with spicy hints of vanilla and liquorice. A very attractive and elegant palate, enriched with toasted notes acquired through its oak ageing and a long aftertaste with lingering spices.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
A fine accompaniment to pulses, white meats and even backed, grilled or fried fish such as conger eel or Chilean reineta.
