Pico Andino Merlot
Rich purple in colour, this wine has aromas of plum, while flavours of dark red fruit and damson linger on the palate, finishing with a touch of spice.
Ideal with pasta and spicy foods, meat broths and soft cheeses.
The grapes come from the Central Valley, one of Chile's main wine-growing areas. The weather is like the weather in the Mediterranean region, with hot, dry summers and short, mild winters. Because it is close to the sea, it is always damp and foggy in the morning. This means the grapes ripen slowly, and the wine is of a high quality.
To ensure the highest quality and freshness of our fruit, we meticulously plan the harvest schedule. Once harvested, the grapes are destemmed and cooled to 12°C for 24 hours to preserve their aromas. The fermentation process is carried out at a controlled temperature of 24-25°C, which allows the aromatic compounds and the characteristic colour of the variety to be extracted to the maximum. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is kept in contact with its fine lees for several months to acquire complexity and roundness, thus expressing its full fruit potential.
