WINE DESCRIPTION
This Cono Sur 20 Barrels Limited Edition is produced from Merlot grapes that are harvested before being crushed, fermented to extract greater depth of fruit and tannins, giving the wine the concentration to stand up to maturation in new oak barrels. Apart from helping to further soften the tannins and round out the mouthfeel, the barrel aging contributes aromas of sweet spices to complement the dark fruit flavors.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a smooth and well-integrated tannic structure. The flavors of dark fruits continue to shine, with notes of blackberry and black cherries taking center stage supported by sweet oak spices.
