WINE DESCRIPTION
Xplorador Merlot is a rich and flavorful wine produced by Concha y Toro, one of the most renowned winemakers in Chile. This wine is made from grapes grown in the Central Valley appellation, which is known for its ideal climate and soil conditions for growing Merlot. The vineyards are located at high altitudes, which allows for slow ripening and optimal flavor development. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a deep ruby color with aromas of black cherry and plum, and a smooth, velvety texture. Xplorador Merlot is a great choice for those who enjoy full-bodied, fruit-forward wines with a touch of oak.
