Valle del Maipo DO Merlot Reserva 2022 Ventisquero

Merlot Reserva is produced by the Chilean company Ventisquero, founded in 2000, whose name in Spanish means "glacier". The company is very large and produces wine from the main Chilean wine-growing areas, in particular from the Maipo Valley, the Casablanca Valley and the Palta Valley.

The harvest of the Merlot grapes takes place at the beginning of March. Once in the cellar, the grapes first undergo maceration to facilitate extraction, then fermentation in steel. 70% of the wine obtained is aged in French oak barrels for 10 months, followed by 3 months in the bottle.

In the glass it is ruby red in color with violet reflections, with a nose that expresses itself on notes of plum and spices, such as nutmeg, vanilla, cinnamon and chocolate. The taste is well balanced, soft, with silky tannins.

It goes well with first courses, white meats and soft cheeses.
