Tarapaca Merlot

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks (for 10 days) at a temperature between 25ºC and 28ºC to preserve the fruitiness and extract as much color, aroma, and flavor from the skins as possible. 30% of the wine ages in wooden barrels for 4 months to develop a good structure.

Drink with: Simply enjoy on its own. Also pairs well with (Indonesian) stewed meat or pâté.
Tasting note: Ruby red wine with an aroma of fresh red fruit, black pepper, and something warm like caramel. On the palate, somewhat spicy, a hint of dried plums and tobacco. Nicely balanced, not too powerful. Soft, ripe tannins give the wine a bit of body but do not interfere with the finish.
Shelf life: Ready to drink now and keeps for approximately 5 years after the harvest.
