The grapes for this Khipu Merlot are grown in various valleys in Chile to create a perfect Merlot blend. The majority of the grapes come from the Rapel Valley, known for its softness and finesse. Grapes from the Aconcagua Valley, Maule Valley, and Curico Valley are also used to give this red wine its ample power. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully destemmed before being fermented and aged in stainless steel vats. A small portion is aged in French oak to give the wine even more suppleness.
Pouring this red wine immediately reveals its beautiful purple-red color. The aroma reveals a bouquet of ripe black cherries, plums, a light earthy note, and a hint of vanilla. These delightful aromas translate into nuances of black fruit like cherries and blackberries on the palate, interspersed with hints of spice, toffee, and vanilla. The finish is ripe and silky smooth with subtle tannins. This red wine pairs perfectly with chicken dishes or Italian pasta.
In short, Khipu Merlot is an absolute must for wine lovers looking for an elegant and refined red wine from Chile.
