WINE DESCRIPTION
Cousiño-Macul Antiguas Reservas Merlot is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Chilean winery, Cousiño-Macul. The grapes are sourced from the Maipo Valley appellation, known for its ideal climate and soil conditions for growing Merlot. The vineyard features old vines that produce low yields, resulting in concentrated and complex flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels for 12 months. The resulting wine is a rich and full-bodied Merlot with notes of black cherry, plum, and vanilla, balanced by a firm tannic structure. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a bold and elegant red wine.
