Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, with her expertise, was able to pinpoint exactly which grapes thrive in each location. She planted several well-known grape varieties. The renowned Merlot also received a prominent spot on the Villacencio estate. The grapes grow under the best conditions: ample sunshine, plenty of ocean freshness, and sufficient shelter from the Andes. This results in the Merlot grapes being deliciously full and juicy. You can taste it immediately upon sipping Mapu Reserva Merlot.
The attention the winemakers give the grapevines is unbelievable. But it's precisely this dedicated process that makes the Mapu Reserva Merlot so incredibly delicious. Mapu's winemakers also produce wines with a heart for the world. All sustainable techniques are employed in the production of their Chilean wines. But the most important thing is the aroma and taste of this Mapu Reserva Merlot. You'll be amazed. Rich red fruit aromas greet your nose. A broad, fruity bouquet lifts your spirits. A hint of toffee and oak adds just a touch of extra tension to the wine. The taste is exactly what you'd expect from a lightly oaked Merlot: fruity and juicy, yet with a pleasant bite.
