Soft and generous with juicy plum and blackberry jam fruit, a touch of melted chocolate and ripe, slightly spicy tannins.
Grape: Merlot makes luscious, smooth and fruity wines. In spite of this, it’s still perceived as one of the vine world’s great underdogs, most often being unfavourably compared to prized Cabernet Sauvignon, its more austere and frequent blending partner. Region: Rapel Valley (pronounced Rah-pel) is Chile's most prominent of South American wine regions in the UK. Investment in the early 1990s is now paying off to produce some excellent quality wines. Style: Shiraz and Zinfandel both feature here due to the ripe fruit flavours overlaid with spice. For Shiraz you’ll notice white or black pepper on the nose where Zinfandel will remind you of a spicy fruitcake, think cherries & cinnamon. These wines smell good, look good and taste good.
