Antares Merlot

Antares Merlot

Valley & Vineyard

The grapes for this Merlot were harvested from selected vineyards in Chile´s Central Valley. This valley is particularly characterised for having clearly defined seasons with cool, rainy winters and warm summers with high daytime temperatures moderated by cool nights. The grapes are able to ripen fully thanks to the excellent exposure to the sun, dry summers and a lack of rain at the time of harvest. All these factors ensure optimum fruit expressions in the Antares range.

Fermentation & Ageing

The must is fermented at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks followed by a 7-day maceration period for ideal extraction of colour, aromas, and flavour.

Tasting Note

Our ruby red Antares Merlot has clean and intense aromas of ripe red fruits especially plums, cherries and strawberries accompanied with cinammon notes. The palate offers these same flavours and confirms a wellbalanced wine with soft tannins and a pleasant finish.

Food Pairing

White meats, cheese and pasta.
