Reserve Merlot

This Merlot Reserva is an expression of the coastal terroir of Melipilla, in the Maipo Valley. The granitic and clayey foothills, and a Mediterranean climate softened by Pacific fogs and breezes, allow for slow ripening that develops complex flavors and round tannins.

Hand-harvested the last week of March, the wine undergoes 3 days of cold maceration to intensify its fruit aromas. Between 50% and 60% of the blend is aged for 6 months in fifth-use French and American oak barrels, a technique that seeks complexity and smoothness without overpowering the fruit.

Deep ruby in color, the nose presents aromas of black fruits, plum, spices, and cedar. On the palate, it is a well-balanced wine, with soft and round tannins, rich acidity, and notes of flowers and black pepper, rounded off by a soft liqueured and vanilla touch. It is recommended to serve at 17°C to accompany a pizza with Serrano ham and arugula or a mushroom risotto.
