Winemaker / Tasting Notes
Céfiro Merlot comes from the Maipo Region which stretches from Santiago to the Andes and west to the coast to form three distinct sectors of the Maipo Valley: Alto Maipo, Central Maipo and Coastal Maipo. These wines come from the central sector, one of the country's oldest and most diverse topographical regions. With rocky alluvial soils and warm but not hot climate, red varietals grow well and strong, showing tipicity and concentration.
The grapes are hand-picked. The wine is aged for 9 months in new and second use French and American oak barrels. This combination of barrels allows the winery to control the aromas and avoid excessive oakiness and thereby deliver a well-balanced wine that preserves its natural fruit character of juicy plum, black cherry and of course, silky, easy going tannins.
