This is a soft, young Merlot with dark and intense
color. Concentrated notes of black fruit and soft hints of sweet toasted oak
dominate the nose. In the mouth this wine surprises with its excellent
structure, balanced acidity, fruit intensity and pleasantly ripe tannins.
Merlot
Vineyards Origin: Lauca Estate, Maule Valley
Soil Type: Alluvial and gravely, low in fertility
Irrigation: Drip irrigation
Harvest: By hand and mechanical in April
Tasting Note: Introduced by a deep intense purple, this
syrah releases a nose of small and fresh wild fruits such as huckleberries,
redcurrants, raspberries and plums melted with slightly wet earth tones
above a floral background. Meat and pepper touches seal the personality, and
subtle tones of vanilla, oriental spices and smoky mints add even more
charm. The palate presents a great juicy texture, escorted by numerous fine
and tight tannins, making perpetually and elegantly grow the volume in the
mouth. The natural freshness constantly allows the expression of the
aromatic fan which explodes all along the impressive and promising finish.
Ageing process: 6 months in stainless steel tanks
Bottling date: October
