Tarapacá Single Varietal Merlot
Tarapacá has different ways of making wine. In this series, emphasis is placed on the expressive character of the grape and its fresh fruit tones.
The fermentation is in stainless steel vats (for 10 days) at a temperature between 25ºC and 28º C to preserve the fruitiness and to extract as much colour, aroma and flavour from the skins as possible. 30% of the wine matures for 4 months in wooden barrels to obtain a good structure.
Drink with: Just enjoy it as it is. Also goes well with (Indonesian) stew or pate.
Tasting note: Ruby red wine with an aroma of fresh red fruit, black pepper and something warm like caramel. In the taste somewhat spicy, a bit of dried plums and tobacco. Nicely balanced, not too powerful, soft ripe tannins give the wine a bit of body but do not disturb in the aftertaste.
Shelf life: Drink now and keep for approximately 5 years after harvest.
