The Wine

Country of origin:

Chile

Region:

Valle Central

Chile is a land of ice and fire. The four seasons are very marked, with cold and rainy winters - and dry, prolonged summers without rain. Luckily, in spite of these blazing summers which help to ripen the grapes, the vines remain watered by the cool snow melt flowing down from the mountains. This makes for beautiful wines like this Merlot, which has a deliciously fresh character due to the coastal vineyards where the fruit comes from.

The Winemaker

Hernan Amenabar
Winemaker:

Hernan Amenabar

After graduating from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile 35 years ago, Hernan has been pursuing his passion in the vineyard and winery. Having worked for Vina Undurraga in a variety of roles before he joined the technical manager team in 2020 with the aim of making exceptional quality wines for export. Over the years, he has played a vital role in the evolution and growth of the Chilean wine industry.

"It is an elegant ruby red wine, with a very fine, fruity nose, with notes of black cherries and plums. It is round in the mouth, with medium body and soft, long and persistent tannins." - Hernan Amenabar, Winemaker.

Lighter than expected. Fruit led initially, but a bitter sour aftertaste didn't make me want to try anymore
