Sierra Grande Merlot
In The Vineyard: Long standing working relationships with growers in the region enables us to source premium fruit, with the ultimate aim of making excellent quality Chilean
house wines with true style and character. Vines are between 40 and 60 years old and part of a 45ha estate where peaches and apples are also grown. The vines are unirrigated and the vineyard is cool with a unique rocky mountain soil and glacial
streams.
In The Winery: Grapes are harvested during the coolest part of the day to ensure they reach the winery in prime condition. Temperatures are kept fairly low throughout the winemaking process, to allow the grapes to express their natural fruit characters. No
oak is used.
Food Recommendations: Great food wine, serve with a juicy steak, savoury lamb casseroles, herby sausages or a char-grilled vegetable lasagne.
