DESCRIPTION
This 100% Merlot comes from the renowned Maule Valley in Chile, a region celebrated for its ideal winegrowing conditions. The wine is aged for 12 months in third-use French oak barrels, contributing subtle complexity to the wine. With a deep ruby red colour, the nose offers elegant aromas of ripe red fruit complemented by faint hints of black pepper and tobacco. On the palate, it is powerful yet soft, with round and firm tannins that lead to a very long and persistent finish. A versatile wine that pairs beautifully with rich meat dishes and aged cheeses.
